| Program Notes | Menil Antiphons (1989), the first piece commissioned by the Da Camera Society, was written to take advantage of the architectural and acoustical properties of the Menil Collection, Houston's newest art museum. In the first 2/3 of the piece, the horns are separated from the core ensemble, creating the antiphonal effect suggested by the title. In addition, the Christmas antiphon, "Puer natus est" is heard in the bells played by various members of the ensemble at two places in the course of the work. The piece is divided into three large sections, with the third integrating thematic material from the first and second. --Ellsworth Milburn |
