As suggested by the title, this three movement work utilizes motifs from well known folksongs transformed through canonic treatment, modal alterations, and other techniques, recasting each in jewel-like miniature. Movements: I. Song Without Words ("Careless Love"), II. Canons and Riffs ("The Peat-Bog Soldiers"), III. Variations ("What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor")

Program Notes
Three Folksong Transformations uses the same method as Gershwiniana, applying it to three of my favorite folksongs: Song Without Words transforms some of the motifs of Carless Love from F major into a rather dour F sharp minor, with the cello imitating the violin; Canons and Riffs combines canonic passages based on motifs from The Peat-Bog Soldiers, a song Paul Robeson sang so beautifully, with brief, rather cryptic interpolations by the piano; and Variations uses the melodic outline of What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor? I am grateful to the recording engineer, Susan Napodano DelGiorno, for suggesting during the recording session that in the second movement it suited the mood better for the cello to begin the canons rather than the violin, as I had originally intended.
