| Program Notes | Adapted from my Agnus Dei for organ in the wake of events following the horror of September 11, 2001, this Adagio became the second movement of my Symphony No. 1: Ballet for Orchestra, and was subsequently transcribed for string quartet. The Adagio gradually exposes a hauntingly beautiful melody from Krzysztof Penderecki's Polish Requiem (Ab, G, F, C, Db, Eb, Db, C). A falling half-step and subsequent whole-step emphasize the interval of the minor third. The harmonic language ranges from chromatic to tonal with occasional references to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. --Cindy McTee |
