Program Notes
Short Symphony, composed in 1983, was commissioned by the Indiana Arts Council and premiered by the Greencastle Chamber Orchestra in January, 1984. It is a sprightly work that for the most part rarely looses its bouyant flavor. The first movement is in classic sontat-allegro form. After a short introduction for the tutti ensemble, two contrasting themes are stated and followed by the development and recapitulation, each nearly equal in length and proportion. A rousing coda completes the movement. The second movement ismore introspective in which the cellos prominently carry the mournful melody. From its quiet beginning, the music moves steadily toward the most sustain and pungent climax of the entire symphony. The music recedes as the cellos return with the somber melody. The upbeat character returns in the finale, which is structured as a rondo. The movement abounds with many of the characteristics of American music: tuneful melodies, dance-like rhythms, and major-minor harmonies occasionally colored by pungent dissonances. --James Adams
