| Program Notes | Notes by the composer: Like my earlier work, CIRCUITS, CALIFORNIA COUNTERPOINT: THE TWITTERING MACHINE was originally written for orchestra and later adapted for wind ensemble. The title is intended to recognize California conductor, Mitch Fennell, for having organized the commission to adapt the piece for winds, and is also meant to express my life-long fascination with work of painter, Paul Klee. Klee's TWITTERING MACHINE is a drawing/painting of four birds perched on a crank shaft. The images are whimsical, puppet-like, mechanistic, ironic, and playful--like my composition. The repeated structures of CALIFORNIA COUNTERPOINT: THE TWITTERING MACHINE create a context for the work's many musical surprises--expectation is often denied through rhythmic displacement, sudden transposition, and melodic juxtaposition. But most important is my intention that the work, like Klee's TWITTERING MACHINE, convey movement--that it engage the body as well as the mind--that it "dance"! --CM |
