About the selections
Chansons avant la tombee de la nuit for mezzo-soprano and piano (2005)
1. Croquis parisien
2. Marine
3. Soleils couchants
4. Chanson d'automne
5. L'Heure de berger
"Songs Before Nightfall" is a cycle of five poems by Paul Verlaine set to music. The songs are a series of different moods and scenes which might accompany the time before dusk. The cycle proceeds in tone from objectivism to romanticism.
Child's Play for large orchestra. 3,3,3,3/4,3,3,1/perc(3)/hp/pno(cel)/strings (2005)
This piece is in two movements. The first movement "Daydream" is my attempt at capturing the fleeting thoughts and fancies of a young child. The second movement "Tag" is a physical and frolicking romp for the orchestra.
Preludes: Book I for solo piano. (2004-2005)
The first prelude is entitled "...past the blackset noctilucent clouds..." which comes from a line of poetry in A.R. Ammon's poem "Hymn." The poem describes one's search for God, beyond the trees, the mountains, eventually reaching into "the undifferentiated, empty stark." The second prelude is entitled "The Avenue of the Fleas," a slinky number named after the street of the place where I first sketched the piece. The third prelude, entitled "Loki, the Trickster," is my attempt to imitate the sounds a mischievous young child would produce at the piano.
