| Program Notes | Although I am of Ashkenazi descent, I have loved Sephardic music for a very long time. The second movement of my Third Symphony is based on this haunting musical culture. Thus, when Cuarteto Latinoamericano commissioned me to write a short Sephardic piece for them, I leapt at the chance. About half the piece is adapted directly from the orchestra version down to four strings; the rest includes melodies I didn't set in the earlier work. Among the songs I have included are: "Adio Querido", "Cuando el Rey Nimrod", and "La Prima Vez". These are all found in various versions throughout the Sephardic Diaspora, from Greece and Trukey to Israel and beyond; sad, loving remnants of the Golden Age before the fateful year 1492. The score was completed in Pittsburgh in February, 2006, and premiered in Mexico City in March of the same year. |
