Pastorale from “The Water Sprites” Op. 90 (1921) by Amy Beach - Transcribed for Ocarina
As we reflect on two decades of making music together at STL Ocarina, it fills our hearts with joy to share a piece that resonates with the spirit of our journey. This special performance of Pastorale from The Water Sprites Op. 90, composed by the extraordinary Amy Beach, is a tribute to a composer whose melodies have long been whispered through time, waiting to be fully heard.
Amy Beach, born in 1867, was one of the first American women to gain international acclaim as a composer. Despite the societal limitations of her time, which often relegated women to the periphery of the music world, Beach broke through these barriers with her extraordinary talent and determination. She was largely self-taught, which makes her achievements even more impressive. Her compositions, which include symphonies, chamber music, and choral works, reflect a deep understanding of Romantic traditions while also showcasing her innovative spirit. The Gaelic Symphony and Mass in E-flat are just two examples of her profound contributions to American music.
In performing this piece, we celebrate not just a significant milestone for STL Ocarina but also the enduring legacy of Amy Beach—a true embodiment of persistence, creativity, and breaking barriers in a male-dominated field. Her music, born from a profound dedication to her art, continues to inspire and uplift. For the past two decades, STL Ocarina has aspired to bring the same joy and inspiration through our ocarinas. This performance is a heartfelt tribute to our collective journey of passion, resilience, and the unwavering pursuit of artistic excellence.
Join us in this celebration of both an unsung hero of American music and the enduring art of the ocarina. Here’s to many more years of creativity and innovation!
