Hannah Palmquist, Harp

This set of ten preludes is an exercise in metrical treatment. Each one is in a specified meter in line with their number in the sequence: No. 3 is in 3/4, No. 6 is in 6/8, No. 10 is in 10/8, etc. A stricture of meter is maintained within each movement. While all ten preludes will be performed in sequence this evening, each one is designed as a stand-alone piece of music. Each of the preludes serve as an homage to a specific composer:

I. Stravinsky
II. Ives
III. Poulenc
IV. Webern
V. Hindemith
VI. R. Strauss
VII. Albéniz
VIII. Messiaen
IX. Ravel
X. Bartok
