CommissionCommissioned by Music in the Mountains Festival Players for Peter Alexander.
DedicationFor Peter Alexander
Program NotesThe piece is dedicated to Peter Alexander. It is in four movements. The first is designated Gentle and Slow; the second is Lively and Light. The third movement is Variations on a Catskill Mountain Folk Song, based on a slightly modal tune I found in Herbert Haufrecht's collection. The theme is played unaccompanied by the strings, followed by seven variations and a fugue. The last movement is an introduction and fast movement in straight 4/4 time. After the many changes of the variations, I wanted the last movement to be very straightforward. But it is not in any form I know of. --Robert Starer
