Southwest Baptist University presented its first recital of the year, Thursday Sept. 6, in Meyer Recital Hall. The recital was a horn trio concert.
The concert featured Darrel Barnes, adjunct professor of violin at Drury University on the French horn, accompanied by Cristi Clark Harris, SBU graduate, on the violin and Melinda Smashey, assistant professor of music at SBU, on the piano.
The trio played three pieces. The first piece was "Trio in F Major" composed by Johann Joaquim Quantz.
The piece included four movements that take the audience through a plethora of emotion.
The piece went from a smooth, soothing beginning to a vivacious and fast paced middle that brings your heart beat up with it while it grows faster.
The second piece performed was "Trio for Horn, Violin, and Piano ("The Legacy")" composed by Simon A. Sargon.
This piece had four movements and was equally tantalizing as the first.
Every pause in the performance left the audience curious for what was to come.
The third piece was a wonderful choice for the conclusion. "Trio in E-Flat major, Op.40" composed by Johannes Brahms, also had four movements.
The pieces Left the audience satisfied the variety and skill of the pieces as well as the musicians that brought the music to life.
Barnes, Smashey and Harris did an amazing job of performing very detailed and fascinating pieces.
