Program Notes
The Variations for Orchestra were written in the summer of 1971 when the composer was a Fellow at the Rockefeller Foundation in Bellagio, Italy. The Baltimore Symphony conducted by Paul Freeman gave the first performance of the work in September 1973. The work begins with an introduction of ten measures that leads into intervallic fragments which appear in some of the succeeding variations. There is no theme in the conventional sense of the term. Each of the eight variations is a separate entity structured around contrasting orchestral timbres and fragments from the introductory material. Variations six and seven are linked together by a perfect fifth sustained by vibraphone and harp. The work has been recorded on Serenus records by the New Philharmonia Orchestra, Paul Freeman, conductor.
