FPU hosts pianist Walter Saul in a commemorative recital of 9/11/01 Inaugurating its 10th anniversary season, the Pacific Artist Series of Fresno Pacific University presented a piano recital by Walter Saul on Sunday, September 11, 2011, at 4:00 p.m. in McDonald Hall Atrium. This recital commemorated the tenth anniversary of 9/11/01 through music selected specifically for that purpose. Works included the final Prelude and Fugue in G# Minor from Saul’s work From Alpha to Omega, written in September, 2001, in response to the tragedy, as well as the California première of his Sonata #2 for Piano and Nocturne from the Upper Room.
Saul also celebrated the bicentennial of Franz Liszt’s birth with performances of his Concert Etude No. 3 and the fantasia quasi sonata Aprés une lecture du Dante. Compositions by Gabriel Fauré, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Nathanial Dett will round out the program. Saul joined the Fresno Pacific University music faculty in 2003. His bachelor’s degree is from Duke University and his M.M. and D.M.A. are from the Eastman School of Music. He was named “Composer of the Year” in North Carolina and in Oregon, and his compositions have been performed in 16 states and five nations. Saul has won ASCAP Special Awards each year since 1990 and performed and presented clinics on the East and West coasts. His CDs include Out of Darkness Into His Marvelous Light, From Alpha to Omega and Songs of Requited Love (with FPU Professor Emeritus Larry Warkentin). More information about Saul is available at waltersaul.com. For further information, please contact Fresno Pacific University at (559) 453-2267.
