Incorporating music from the bawdy to the refined, a free recital by Ithaca College School of Music faculty baritone Brad Hougham will be held on Tuesday, February 6 at 7:00 p.m. in the Hockett Family Recital Hall. Pianist Diane Birr will collaborate.
The program will include sets of music by Richard Strauss, Francis Poulenc, Charles Ives, and Manuel da Falla. Hougham described the program as follows: “The Strauss set is a soaring, overt representation of various aspects of love; the obscenity-loving Poulenc is fully himself in 'Chansons Gaillardes' --settings of anonymous bawdy texts from the 17th century. Selections by Charles Ives range from the story of the ill-fated cowboy Charlie Rutledge to the most peaceful of lullabies. The recital will have a fiery Spanish end with the ‘Siete Canciones Populares Espanoles’ by de Falla.”
