| Dedication | for Ida Kavafian |
| Program Notes | I have been very lucky that some wonderful musicians have maintained a relationship to my music over many years. Ida Kavafian has premiered several of my pieces, including "Angel Fire Encore" and "Angel FanFire" (both composed for her festival in New Mexico), "Canticum Arcanum" (for violin, tenor, chorus, and piano), among others. Her continued interest in my work since our first meeting over twenty years ago has been very meaningful to me. Throughout my composing life, but especially in recent years, I have devoted a lot of energy to creating narrative music for young listeners -- from the life of a dinosaur ("Tyrannosaurus Sue: A Cretaceous Concerto") and the travails of a turkey ("Tough Turkey in the Big City") to the artistic journey of Paul Gauguin ("Red Dogs and Pink Skies"). So, when Ida Kavafian asked me to compose a piece for her, I enjoyed writing a work that did not tell a story. And yet, every piece has its mysterious metaphors, whether or not the composer knows it consciously or admits to it. So I called these three musical scenes "Secret Stories," as an invitation to listen deeply. --Bruce Adolphe |
