Program Notes
While not composed as a unified set, my six Post-Modern Homages share some common features: each was composed for a friend, and each addresses a narrowly defined musical issue, either the transformation of aspects of an existing piece of music, or working with strictly limited musical means. As a gift for my friends Bob Littell, a novelist and former cryptographer, and Victoria Salvy, a painter who specializes in trompe-l'oeil, I composed a small guitar piece, later transcribed for piano. Un tout petit trompe-l'oreille has encrypted within it the notes of a national anthem -- the rest is a secret. Gymnopèdie No. 4, dedicated to my wife, Lisa, is a study in seventh chords. Cast in ABA form, every vertical sonority of the A section is some inversion of a minor seventh chord, while in the B section the major seventh predominates. The gentle lilt of the 3/4 meter and the simultaneously fluid yet static harmony put me in mind of Erik Satie, hence the title. Sonatina DCXL was composed for Donald Crockett on his fortieth birthday. In the tradition of the soggetto cavato it uses the notes D and C, and D, H (=B) and C, as its thematic material, and is signed at the end with an S and H (=E-flat and B).
