Memories of Home<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This program features music by composers from Taiwan, Germany, and America, centered on the concept of home. Hsiao\u2019s Piano Suite \u201cMemories of Home\u201d recalls the composer\u2019s childhood memories, tinged with nostalgia while physically unable to return to his homeland. In each piece from the suite, Hsiao offers a fragmented glimpse into his vision of his homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hindemith\u2019s rarely-performed Piano Sonata No. 1 was composed during a tumultuous period \u2013 both for him personally, and for Germans broadly \u2013  due to the rise of the Third Reich in Germany. The first piano sonata was inspired by Friedrich H\u00f6lderlin\u2019s poem \u201cDer Main\u201d\u2014the river that runs through Hindemith\u2019s hometown of Frankfurt. Working in a rather unconventional five-movement structure, Hindemith carefully selected material that embodied his view of German identity, while crafting an underlying narrative that ties the entire work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

William Grant Still\u2019s \u201cSummerland\u201d, from his short Piano Suite Three Visions<\/em>, is a musical portrait of the afterlife. Still referred to \u201cSummerland\u201d as the place that awaits a good person after death and judgement. In some interpretations, when one passes, they return to the place from which they came \u2013 in some cultures even referred to as a homegoing. Beyond the obvious fit as the closing piece on this program, \u201cSummerland\u201d reminds us that every end presents a new beginning, with more to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
