Foulk Records Pietsch CanzonettaLin Foulk, Professor of Horn at Western Michigan University, and Martha Fischer, head of the Accompanying Program at UW-Madison, have recorded a compact disc entitled Four Elements. The CD features little known repertoire for the horn by women composers and it includes Wisconsin composer Edna Frida Pietsch. The Mills Music Library is home to the Edna Frida Pietsch Collection which Pietsch (1894-1982) lived her entire life in Milwaukee where she was active as a composer and teacher. She wrote orchestral and chamber music, keyboard pieces and songs, and her works have been performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Symphony in the Glen. For additional information on Pietsch and her collection, see the library web site at http://music.library.wisc.edu/wma/papers/pietsch/pietsch.htm. Lin Foulk graduated from the UW School of Music with a DMA in horn performance. She has performed with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, the Madison Symphony Orchestra, the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, and served as principal horn with symphonies in Oshkosh and Manitowoc. Currently, she is a member of the Western Brass Quintet. Martha Fischer with baritone Paul Rowe has recently recorded Schubert's Winterreise. She has performed across the United States with her husband, Bill Lutes. The Four Elements recording can be purchased at http://www.linfoulk.org/order.html. |
