Chicago Gargoyle Brass and Organ Ensemble: "Seascapes: Music from Britten's 'Peter Grimes'"
The Chicago Gargoyle Brass and Organ Ensemble's first concert program of 2016 will feature the world premiere of a new arrangement of Benjamin Britten's evocative "Four Sea Interludes and Passacaglia" from his dramatic opera "Peter Grimes." The arrangement, commissioned by the ensemble and written by Craig Garner, is based on Britten's own, widely performed orchestral version of the same music, which mirrors the plot and setting of a tragic story that unfolds in an English seacoast village.

The nautical-themed concert will include the world premiere of another commissioned arrangement: Garner's "Suite from Water Music," based on G. F. Handel's popular baroque masterpiece, plus Claude Debussy's French impressionist "La cathédrale engloutie" (The Sunken Cathedral), written for and performed on solo piano; and the "Russian Sailor's Dance" from Reinhold Glière's ballet "The Red Poppy."

Britten's "Fanfare for Canterbury Cathedral," Vaughn Williams' "Two Preludes for Organ" ("Bryn Calfaria" and "Rhosymedre"), and Michael Burkhardt's organ and brass arrangement of the hymn "You Call Us, Lord to be," based on a Welsh folk tune, round out the program.
