Villa-Lobos, Little Train of the Caipira from Bachianas brasileiras No. 2 Bizet, Votre toast from Carmen (vocal) Mozart, Madamina! Il catalogo e questo from Don Giovanni w/recitative (vocal) Handel, Thus Saith the Lord and But Who May Abide from Messiah (2 vocal pieces) Galindo, Songs of the mariachi Vaughan Williams, Two songs from Five Mystical Songs (vocal) No. 3 Love bade me welcome No. 4 The Call Kern, Ole Man River from Showboat (vocal) Elgar, Enigma Variations, op. 36 An amusing little gem starts the evening. Inspired by a train ride with berry-picking farm laborers in Sao Palo, it fuses the style of Bach to the folk music of Brazil. Next, Flint native Isaac Grier dazzles his home-town audience with a great selection of baritone favorites, starting with an impassioned aria from Bizet's famous opera, followed up with pieces ranging from oratorio to a classic showtune. In between, the orchestra takes us south of the border with popular Mexican mariachi tunes. The closing selection came to the composer after a long day of teaching violin. He entertained his wife that evening on the piano with what was to become his first composition for large orchestra, altering the theme to reflect characteristics of certain friends.
