Nebraska's Darryl White, trumpet, and Jamie Reimer, soprano, will present a faculty recital, “A (Mostly) Baroque Banquet,” at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 12 at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, 8550 Pioneers Blvd. The concert is free and open to the public.
The two will be joined by Christopher Marks (harpsichord/organ), Clark Potter (viola), Sam Stanley (cello), Jack Carlson (violin), Laura Watson (violin) and Julietta Rabens (harp).
The program includes J.S. Bach’s “Cantata BWV 51” and “Cantata BWV 21," Giovanni Pergolesi’s “Cujus animam gementem” from “Stabat Mater," Georg Friedrich Handel’s “Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne (Eternal Source of Light Divine)" and “Let the Bright Seraphim” from the oratorio “Samson," and the hymn “How Great Thou Art” and “The Lord’s Prayer” by Alfred Hay Malotte, arranged by Julietta Rabens.
“This is a program that Darryl and I have wanted to perform for several years, and the timing is finally right,” Reimer said. “It’s a celebration of duets for soprano and trumpet from the Baroque period by some of the most recognizable composers of the era. We’re sprinkling in some traditional hymns written later, so it’s ‘mostly’ Baroque music.”
Reimer is the Richard H. Larson Distinguished Professor of Music (Voice) in the Glenn Korff School of Music. She has performed in opera, oratorio and recital venues around the U.S., Italy, Germany, Brazil and Australia.
