Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992): Libertango
Libertango is an exuberant song of liberty and artistic independence, written after Piazzolla had left his homeland of Argentina and moved to Italy. Easily one of Piazzolla’s most recognizable works, Libertango has seen countless rearrangements and has been recorded by artists and ensembles on all instruments, across all genres, around the world. 

Endre Szervánszky (1911-1977): Wind Quintet No. 1
Endre Szervánszky’s First Wind Quintet is rooted in Hungarian musical traditions. An expressive opening from the oboe leads into syncopated rhythms, virtuosic dance passages, and celebratory fanfares from the horn. Later movements include a lyrical clarinet melody and dynamic contrasts of both tender, songful moments and vibrant, high energy, fast-paced excitement.

Julio Medaglia (b. 1938): Belle Epoque in Sud-America
Jacob Gade (1879-1963) / arr. Stig Jorgenson: Jalousie (Tango Tzigane)
José-Luis Hurtado (b. 1975): Son de la Bruja
Paquito D’Rivera ( b. 1948): Wapango

Julio Medaglia’s Belle Epoque is a joyous suite for winds, providing a taste of the lively culture and traditions of South America. 

Jalousie is a passionate gypsy tango written by Danish composer Jacob Gade, who was inspired after reading a news report of a jealousy-driven crime involving two lovers.

Son de la Bruja, by José-Luis Hurtado, is an arrangement of a Mexican folk song about a seductive witch. 

Paquito D’Rivera’s Wapango, based on the huapango Mexican folk dance, features colorful Cuban rhythms in a staccato style.

2021 Quartet Sponsorship

The Julius Quartet’s Emerging Artists Quartet-in-Residence experience is supported by Robert and Carolyn Nelson.

Madeline Island Chamber Music is very grateful to Bob and Carolyn for supporting the inaugural year of this program and this opportunity for the Julius Quartet.
