| 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, commissioned by the National Symphony Orchestra and music director, Leonard Slatkin, and made possible by the John and June Hechinger Fund for New Orchestra Works. 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 |
