10 in B MinorВ at the age of 14, with the music showing both classical roots and the graceful melodies for which the composer was most well-known.В In a performance rebroadcast from 2019, the Buskaid Soweto String Ensemble maintained an introspective character in the opening вЂњAdagio,вЂќ moving well through precise and decisive scales in the subsequent вЂњAllegro.вЂќВ The closing вЂњPiГ№ prestoвЂќ was expertly played, with effective dynamic contrasts in repeated passages. BachвЂ™s solo instrumental partitas.В Twala maneuvered well through the sequential passages, including executing a fast-playing cadenza, and then moved across the stage to join Mqwathi as the piece morphed into free-form jazz for the two instruments.В Mqwathi demonstrated solid command of the double bass and jazz style, and Twala gave a musical preview of a real future as a concert violinist.ДЇelix Mendelssohn composed String Symphony No. Seventeenth-century Italian composer Carlo Farina studied with some of the Baroque eraвЂ™s leading composers.В Considered one of the earliest violin virtuosos, Farina contributed significantly to violin pedagogy, especially through such works as the 1627 Capriccio Stravagante.В This multi-section work called upon violins, violas, and cellos to mimic other instruments, as well as animals.В These types of humorous works were not uncommon in the 17 thВ century, and the Buskaid ensemble approached FarinaвЂ™s piece with a refreshing playing style and easily finding the humor.В In a rebroadcast from a 2018 concert, the musicians played triple meter sections especially gracefully, and the musical imitations of chickens clucking and cats yowling were particularly effective.ДЇrench composer Claude Debussy came to the musical forefront as France was emerging from the 19 th-century dominant Austro-German school.В French composers of this era drew from art and their own language to infuse music with a wide range of instrumental colors, sinuous harmonies, and phrasing that mimicked the cadences of the native tongue.В DebussyвЂ™s 1904 Danse sacrГ©e et danse profaneВ for solo harp and strings was commissioned by a French harp-building firm to showcase a newly-designed instrument.В The sacrГ©e portion of this work reflected ancient religious beliefs, with the second half of the piece inspired by the improvisatory style of Spanish dances.В Featured in this performance by the Buskaid ensemble was harpist Jude Harpstar, whose performing career has crossed genres ranging from classical to pop.В In a rebroadcast from a 2016 performance, Harpstar played with elegance, even when the music called for sharp and decisive harp passages.В Conductor Nalden consistently maintained a subtle string accompaniment, with the second section of the piece particularly evoking spring in Paris.В As with all of these expertly-recorded concerts, one could easily see the supple fingering of the soloist on the harp, as well as HarpstarвЂ™s expressive playing.ДЄngela MorleyвЂ™s ReverieВ for solo violin and orchestra also conjured a French atmosphere, with an extremely melodic solo violin part sensitively played by Buskaid violinist Mzwandile Twala.В Without using excessive vibrato, Twala well handled the long melodic lines, as orchestra and soloist ended the piece peacefully.В Twala was joined by double bassist Daluxolo Mqwathi in a performance drawn from 2017 of Fritz KreislerвЂ™s Praeludium and Allegro, in the style of Pugnani.В Gaetano Pugnani was an 18 th-century Italian violinist and composer, and KreislerвЂ™s work began in a straight-forward manner, with the solo violin part showing shades of J.S.

P rinceton Symphony Orchestra launched its penultimate online concert collaboration with South AfricaвЂ™s Buskaid Soweto String Ensemble this past Friday with a virtual program of music for strings, harp, and solo voices.В In a performance entitled вЂњCurious Creatures and a Heavenly Harp,вЂќ the Soweto string orchestra, led by conductor Rosemary Nalden, performed music featuring both their own soloists and a well-known South African harpist.
