Dedication
Program Notes
The work was commissioned by the North Carolina Symphony through a generous gift from Nortel and was composed in memory of Peter Worsley, a Nortel executive and long-time board member of the orchestra. The piece draws its inspiration from the six "Heine lieder" that comprise the second part of Franz Schubert's song cycle, SCHWANENGESANG (Swan Song). These songs form the programmatic and structural bases of my composition. They are recast (sans voice) in my own language and expanded by the addition of new, but related material, thereby creating a reinterpretation or "re-composition," if you will, of Schubert's set. Literal elements of Schubert's music emerge from time to time, but most references are quite oblique. In my work, the order of the original songs -- and thus, of the poetry that generated them -- is arranged in a different fashion, so as to construct a "narrative" cycle tracing the emotional journey of a lost love. Too, the six reordered songs are compressed into a five-movement structure -- "Am Meer" and "Die Stadt" combine in the second movement-- which follows the gradually darkening tone of Heine's texts. --Claude Baker
