Tales and tributes come to life in vibrant musical colors. The teenage Richard Strauss pays homage to Mozart and Mendelssohn in his strikingly original E-flat Serenade for Winds. Subtitled “A Romance,” Ralph Vaughan Williams’s bittersweet The Lark Ascending brings pastoral innocence to life through rhapsodic solos that sound deceptively simple. Jeff Scott’s Trail of Tears tells the story of his great-great-grandfather, of Cherokee descent, who was among the 60,000 Native Americans forcibly ejected from their homes in the 19th century. Written in 1876 and bearing the dedication “For My Nation,” Antonín Dvořák’s Quintet in G Major adds double bass to the traditional string quartet, opening leagues of musical depth to the work that helped launch his international career.
