Consort Will Appear
Here In Concert
V ^ - -
WHILE STUDENTS were away
on their Christmas and semester
breaks quit ea bit of the chilly white
stuff fell on Brevard. There are a
lot of snowballs in this scene!
The Paul Winter Contem
porary Consort will appear in
concert at Brevard College on
Saturday, January 31st, at
8:15 p. m. in the auditorium of
the Dunham Music Center as
part of the Mutual Concert As
sociation series.
The Concert is a group of
young musicians who are de
veloping an original idiom of
music, a unique synthesis of
symphonic orchestration, folk
music, and jazz. The seven-
piece Consort, which includes
alto saxophone, cello, English
horn, alto flute, classical and
12-string guitar, bass, and a
variety of folk percussion cen
tering on a set of seven tuned
Brazilian drums, is an ensem
ble which blends to create a
distinctive, rich sonority.
The music of the Consort de
rives from the whole scope of
the musical experience of Win
ter and his musicians; classical
music known from symphonic
playing; the jazz experience of
the several years of Winter’s
first Sextet; folk music learn
ed in 25 countries visited dur
ing State Department tours
and from work with Peter,
Paul and Mary; and from the
music of Brazil, known from
four trips to that country.
The group is a contemporary
model of the Renaissance Con
sort, one of the earliest instru
mental groups. The name “Con
sort” meant a "family of in
struments, and the ideal of the
Renaissance Consorts was to
achieve a homogeneous blend
among all the instruments. On
ly the warm, humansounding
woodwinds, strings, and percus
sion were used. The Winter
Consort is based on this same
ideal, using instruments of our
day, making music for our
times.
The concert is open only to
those who hold season member
ship cards in the Mutual Con
cert Association.
