Gil Cline

Music

HSU Music Department Professor Dr. Gil Cline (2nd year, FERP) recently made two unusual performance appearances. On April 2 and 3 he was featured on the Renaissance cornetto—the rare brass and woodwind hybrid—with Jefferson Baroque, based in Ashland, Ore. The concerts were of the famous, sonorous Venetian polychoral music in which the audience is almost surrounded by musicians including voices, strings, keyboards, and the historic brass including cornetto and sackbut (trombone). On April 9 he appeared on Alcatraz Island for a Living History Day with other US Civil War re-enactors. Cline performed on an historic 1860s rotary-valve soprano cornet with an 18-member brass band, in Federal uniforms, performing historic American music and portraying the US 3rd Artillery Band stationed there and at the Presidio in those days.
