| Program Notes | Three Pieces was begun in part as a study for a concerto for two violins, strings, and harp entitled Serenade Concertante, written for the Russian violinist Tatjana Grindenko and recorded on Arabesque. The first movement alternates material suggestive of the so-called "mystic minimalism" (I borrowed this music from my Sonatina for oboe and guitar) with a more rhythmic, rather Coplandesque idea; the second movement is much more dissonant and harsh; the diatonic finale is lyrical and contemplative. |
