| Program Notes | I read a lot: novels, poetry, short stories, books about music, letters, collected essays by interesting people, the newspapers. I had for quite a while been thinking about writing my own set of short stories, but with music instead of words. Short Stories, which I composed for the Debussy Trio during May-August 1995, is the result. I have used single works to set the stage for each story: "graceful," "fleet," "keening," etc. The content of the story--its plot, characters, setting, feel--are left for you to fill in, if you are so inclined. When composing the music, I imagined a situation in which listeners (they tended to be children in my imagination) would compare stories after hearing the music. --Donald Crockett |
