Why can’t I?
 It’s not the 4th of July,
Yet it’s my independence day
How would I know
How she rocks, how she rolls,
For it’s my independence day
Your hand in mine
We could grow lost together; it’s your choice
Believe me, darling,
If you take this chance,
I’m going to set you free
You’re too beautiful for words, darling,
And, well, I hope you’re not too beautiful for me
Because, in the castle, in my mind,
There’s a silhouette, hung
By a noose, between two golden banisters
And if life itself is but one grand question
I hope in you I’ve found my answer
Your hand in mine
We could grow lost together; it’s not my choice
No I can’t see between the lines,
I’m being blunt, I won’t let you go!
Now you’re the girl with the master plan
That’s got a hold of my soul 
No I can’t see between the lines,
I’m being blunt, I won’t let you go!
Now you’re the girl with the master plan
That’s got a hold of my soul
That’s got a hold of my soul
Got a hold of my soul
Got a hold of my soul
That's got a hold on my soul
Why can’t I?
It’s not the 4th of July,
Yet it’s my independence day
How would I know
How she rocks, how she rolls,
For it’s my independence day


Independence Day

Program Note
"Time and memory are true artists; they remould reality nearer to the heart's desire."
--John Dewey

	The fragility of memory is an interesting thing. In the process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information, our brains engage in an active process of construction that is vulnerable to distortion and manipulation - especially where emotions are involved.
	In Memory is a diptych in which I explore two distinct musical memories: listening as a child to my grandfather practicing his instrument; and myself as a young man playing through Bach's Goldberg Variations during my first summer in Paris.
	In Âge d’or ("Golden Age"), the main melodic motive of this piece is derived from my grandfather's name using the soggetto cavato dalle vocali technique that was developed by Josquin des Prez (and coined by Zarlino). The resulting theme – A G# E D – also is the inspiration for the title of the piece, an appropriate term for these sepia-toned memories.
	A Goldberg Variation, as the title implies, is a variation on the Aria from J. S. Bach's iconic work, in my own style and syntax. Rather than studying the original closely, I composed the piece intuitively, allowing the naturally-occurring distortions of my memory of the aria to embed themselves in the musical flow.
	An adaptation of this work, for sextet (flute, oboe, violin, cello, and 2 guitars), was premiered by the Cygnus Ensemble in Elebash Hall, New York City on May 1st, 2012.
