The 4th-most-popular instrument in the 18th-century (by numbers of publications—after keyboard, violin, and flute) was the French Baroque chamber bagpipe, then called the musette. Hundreds of publications survive for this instrument, many by excellent composers unknown to modern audiences because they specialized in an instrument that is usually never heard today, and wrote music adapted to instruments with a prominent drone texture—many of these pieces just don’t sound right without the drones, so are rarely performed. Most of this repertoire is chamber music, written for small ensembles of varying sizes, so bagpiper Dick Hensold will be joined on this program by soprano Maria Jette, harpsichordist Bruce Jacobs, violinist Joe Dolson, and flutist Anita Rieder.

This duo concert features Dick Hensold, Highland Reel Pipes, Northumbrian smallpipes, and whistles, with Victor Zupanc, composer, music director for the Children’s Theater company, and fantastic keyboardist. The music will be centered around Dick’s extensive study into Cape Breton piping, but will also feature other Celtic music, on his other bagpipes.

Cape Breton is at the Eastern end of Nova Scotia, settled 200 years ago by many thousands of Gaelic-speaking Scots, who preserve a very old style of playing said to come from Scotland’s Hebrides Islands.

Admission for this concert is free and open to all! A freewill offering will be collected to support the Hennepin Music Series!

Presented by Pan Harmonia, on their Celtic Crossroads series.
