Robert W. Butts, Conductor and Music Director,
the Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey
The variety of the program reflected Butts’s wide-ranging musical tastes—he once was a country and western singer—as well as his passion for teaching. He began with an overture to a ballet, L’Amant Anonyme, by Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint Georges, a composer who, during the second half of the 18th century, was one of the most influential musicians in Paris. The child of a black mother and a white father, Saint Georges was known as The Black Mozart as well, Butts said, as The Black Don Juan. The overture was a delight, airy, melodic and beautifully structured. As with the all the best music of the classical period, the piece has an inevitability about it, as if it was meant to be in its exact form.
