James Lotz, Tennessee Tech University professor of bassoon, will present his annual faculty recital at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 14, in TTU’s Wattenbarger Auditorium.

Also performing will be Paul Thurmond playing piano and harpsichord, TTU alumnae Katie Holland on bassoon and members of the TTU bassoon studio.

The program will begin with Sonata #3 by Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi, who wrote 40 concerti for bassoon, more than any other composer. The next piece is Sonata by Alvin Etler, written in 1955. Etler was an oboist and student of Paul Hindemith. Next are three waltzes by the Brazilian composer Francisico Mignone. Written in 1981, these are not traditional waltzes but emotional short character pieces. The next piece, composed by bassoonist Bill Douglas earlier this year, was written for two bassoons. Titled Divertimento, each of the three movements is inspired by jazz musicians Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins and Lee Konitz.

The recital will conclude with Le Phenix, a concerto for four bassoons. Written nearly 300 years ago, this is the first and only concerto for four bassoons, composed by Michel Corrette, a great music educator of the Baroque period. Corrette wrote some of the first method books for 20 different instruments, including bassoon.

The recital is free and open to the public.
