| Program Notes | LANDSCAPE OF DREAMS was composed for Stephanie Chase in 1989. It is loosely based upon Gabriel Garcia Marquez' Love in the Time of Cholera. Rather than being a literal programmatic work, it is more a series of impressions derived from and feelings elicited by this wonderful book. The landscape of this piece's dreams is a series of recurring moments, some literal and others quite altered. Underlying much of the work is a series of ostinati or pedal tones. My idea was to create a sense of mystery regarding these repetitions: are they actually present, and if so, are they points of arrival or points of departure? The piece is composed in five sections: (1) a series of single pitches (pedal tones) evolve into and out of a Bach-like contrapuntal gesture; (2) this gesture is developed, with one voice continuing in a rather distant and smooth flowing passage, interrupted by vigorous commentaries, labled "time windows" which, in turn, mysteriously melt back into the smooth-flowing material; (3) the mute is used, developing into the "dream waltz," based upon materials from the first two sections; the mute is removed, but the waltz illusion continues; (4) "The Landscape of Dreams" once again uses the Bach-like gesture, building to the work's dynamic and emotional climax, ending with a series of upward sweeps which were characterized in the first section; (5) "Lullaby," a mere four measures of summation, with the quotation from the book in the score: "Let us keep going, going, going, back to La Dorada." The cycle is complete, and we return to our beginning...or do we? --Edward Applebaum |
