Dedication
Program Notes
AMERICAN ACCENTS was completed in October 1984, with the assistance of a fellowship grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The work was dedicated to Gerard Schwarz at its premiere during the 1985-86 season and performed by the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra with Maestro Schwarz as Music Director. The work is scored for two flutes, oboe, English horn, clarinet, bass clarinet, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, percussion and strings. The composer explains his vision of this work as follows: "Virgil Thompson wrote many years ago of the characteristic rhythm of much American music being a steady background of eighth-notes, puntuated by accents. This rhythmic feel is the basis for AMERICAN ACCENTS; there are only a few triplets for punctuation in the work. I wanted to write an overture-like piece that would open a concert on a bright, upbeat note. Notes provided by David Stock
