Brown To Perform Organ Recital At TWU

9/17/04

DENTON — Music from current American composers as well as international artists will be featured in an organ recital presented by Texas Woman’s University professor Dr. Thomas K. Brown.

The concert is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 28, in the Margo Jones Performance Hall, located at Oakland and Sawyer streets on TWU’s Denton campus. Admission is free. For more information, call (940) 898-2500.

“What I like, especially, about this concert is the contrast of styles, blends and textures provided by both the organ and the organ with the individual instruments,” Brown said. He will be accompanied by TWU music faculty members Dr. Pamela Youngblood on flute, Garry Evans on clarinet and Michael Harcrow on horn.

Works by American composers include “Pastorale for Clarinet and Organ” by Peter Mathews, who has composed more than 160 works including a large number of choral pieces. The “Albarda,” from Flores del Desierto (Tangos for Organ) by Pamela Decker, was inspired by a wild desert flower. Moonyeen Albrecht’s Four Psalms for Flute and Organ was premiered in 1986 and is considered one of the more outstanding compositions in the genre.
