Youngblood To Perform Flute Recital at TWU

9/13/04

DENTON — To Dr. Pamela Youngblood, part of being a professor means expanding your repertoire. That’s why the associate professor of music at Texas Woman’s University often performs pieces for the first time in her faculty recitals.

Her fall recital is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 21 in the Margo Jones Performance Hall, located at Oakland and Sawyer streets on TWU’s Denton campus. Admission is free.

“I’m always looking for new things,” Youngblood said. “I always look for a good program design — a balance between substance and fun.”

The professor’s search for pieces to feature in her “women in music” class uncovered “Bubble-Up Rag,” composed by Judith Lang Zaimont in 2001. Youngblood enjoyed the piece and was eager to perform it, but she had to contact Zaimont for the music, which has not yet been published.

Youngblood also selected Sonatine en Trio by Florent Schmitt, which she will perform with new TWU clarinet instructor Garry Evans; and works by Georges Dorlay, Henri Tomasi, Brenno Blauth and Otar Taktakishvili.

Youngblood founded and directs the TWU and Brookhaven (Dallas) flute choirs, and is a founding member of Zephyr Winds, a musical ensemble that focuses upon rarely heard music for a variety of instrumental combinations. She has performed at conventions of the National Flute Association, the Texas Music Educators Association and the National Association of College Wind and Percussion Instructors. She also is principal flutist for the Wichita Falls Symphony Orchestra.
