Lawrence Archbold, professor of music and Enid and Henry Woodward College Organist, will perform in concert Sunday, April 22 at 3 p.m. in the Carleton College Concert Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
This concert is the seventeenth in Archbold’s ongoing series, “Exploring Organ Music.” Entitled “Organ Music of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries: From Stylus Fantasticus to Style Galant,” the program marks the 300th anniversary of the death of Dieterich Buxtehude with a selection of his works, including the Ciacona in e and the Praeludium in g, that illustrate the stylus fantasticus. Also featured will be compositions by Claude-Benigne Balbastre, Giovanni Battist Martini, and Michel Corrette that illustrate the style galant. Archbold will close the concert with Johann Sebastian Bach’s Fantasia in g minor.
Archbold is the co-editor of “French Organ Music: From the Revolution to Franck and Widor” (University of Rochester Press, 1995), along with several articles and essays concerning German Baroque and French Romantic organ music. He also has presented lectures at national meetings of the American Musicology Society and the American Guild of Organists, and has performed more than 100 organ recitals in his career.
The Carleton music department is sponsoring the event. For more information and disability accommodations, call the Carleton music department at (507) 646-4347.
