Welcome to my music!
Program Notes available from Elizabeth
AN AMERICAN TRIPTYCH
for solo piano (2001):
Rag-Quodlibet (2:07)
Ulrich Urban, piano.
Capstone CPS-8732
A quodlibet is a musical patchwork, especially loved by the
Bach family. Swing bass, with snatches of Joplin,
and a hunting horn 'Turkey in Straw'!
AN AMERICAN TRIPTYCH:
Bellagio Blues (3:53)
Written at Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio retreat,
the blues in modern dress.
AN AMERICAN TRIPTYCH: Hoedown (2:35)
Rough and tumble, with snippets of American folk songs,
as well as Prokofieff, for some quodlibet goofiness,
ending in a contrapuntal free-for-all!
