Performed  by the Orchestra of the League of Composers, conducted by Louis Karchin, May 20, 2018, in Miller Theatre at Columbia University.

Symphonia brevis was composed for and is dedicated with thanks to Riverside Symphony, which 
premiered it under the direction of George Rothman in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center on
February 12, 2010. The work employs an orchestra of Classical dimensions (minus flutes), and 
is in two movements. The opening Intrada, marked Maestoso, sets forth a fanfare that exerts a 
strong pull toward a persistent B-flat major chord and introduces an insistent timpani motive focused 
on the note D. An extensive transition—including a cantabile passage for the strings, a duet for oboe 
and English horn, and a clarinet solo—finally allows an escape from the orbit of B-flat major, as more 
lyrical music centered on F and an upward arching thematic idea for the woodwinds are presented 
in close succession. A solo trumpet begins repeating the earlier solo clarinet music, when suddenly the 
orchestra is jerked back to the ubiquitous B-flat major center. A very brief development follows, 
undergirded throughout by the obsessive timpani motive. After a tutti climax, the brass and timpani 
introduce a short recapitulation that is abruptly cut off by an enigmatic coda featuring, respectively, 
solo Harmon-muted trumpet and stopped horn—in each case doubled by a single viola—against a 
curtain of soft sustained string sound. At the top of the texture the oboe intones a major sixth interval 
that will form the motivic basis of the next movement, Scherzando: Vivace. Shorter than the Intrada, 
the Scherzando functions as its foil, dissipating some of its pent-up energy and bringing back some of 
its material, albeit in a very different rhythmic context.

lyrics:

it seemed unimaginable
watched you packing your things
your t-shirts and valuables
your records and rings

and you told me to listen
and you begged me to care
you said, “love is impossible
and life isn’t fair”

now you’re leaving
and i’m losing you
the lights went red to green
and now i’m blue
  
you laughed like a carnival
with flowers in your hair
when i met you in hollywood
i wasn’t sure you were real

now i can’t touch you
now you pull away
now you burn right through me
and my heart blurs and breaks

cause you’re leaving
and i’m losing you
the lights went red to green
and now i’m blue

i thought you’d always be with me
i’m out of touch with reality

cause you’re leaving
and i’m losing you
the lights went red to green
and now i’m blue

Go Get 'Em, Tiger! - Away to the Clouds
