PROGRAM NOTE
Couples who are in love often share the same interests, finish each other sentences, and laugh at the same jokes. In fact, Scientists at the University of California, Davis discovered that a couple’s breathing patterns and heart rates match up if they sit close to each other or look into each other’s eyes. They don’t even have to hold hands or talk for this to happen. However, a similar effect apparently does not occur among strangers, only couples in love. Coupled with this idea, I have always been fascinated by binary stars, which are two stars that rotate together, on the same axis. Binary Hearts for solo marimba is inspired by these phenomena. In this piece, I use heartbeat-like motives and ostinati, fast moto-perpetuo rhythmic sections and choral-like episodes, creating a joyous, gently shifting tapestry that is meant to reflect how two people feel when they are in love. Binary Hearts was commissioned by Micheal Barnes in honor of his marriage to Carly Prince.

WE AIN'T HERE FOR LONG / NATHAN DAWE /  Deep House remix / BPM 122 C#m

LYRICS:
I'm sick and tired, ain't got the answer
And I know, I know, I know, I know it's hard sometimes
I'm feelin' guilty for feelin' guilty
And I'm never, never, never, never satisfied

Oh, heaven, help me, please
I'm beggin' on my knees
Somebody show me a sign
Oh-oh, endless days and lonely nights
And I felt this way a million times (Felt this way a million times)

We, we ain't here for long, oh-oh
So tell me what the hell we doin' for?
'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on, oh-oh
I gotta live my life before it's gone (Live my life before it's gone)
We, we ain't here for long, oh-oh
So tell me what the hell we doin' for?
'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on, oh-oh
I gotta live my life before it's gone (Live my life before it's gone)

I gotta live my life before it's gone

And all the fakin', this world is so cruel
And I really, really, really wanna just give up
I'm tryna stay strong, just gotta carry on
Will I ever, ever, ever, ever be enough?

Oh, heaven, help me, please
I'm beggin' on my knees
Somebody show me a sign
Oh-oh, endless days and lonely nights
And I felt this way a million times (Felt this way a million times)

We, we ain't here for long, oh-oh
So tell me what the hell we doin' for?
'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on, oh-oh
I gotta live my life before it's gone (Live my life before it's gone)
We, we ain't here for long, oh-oh
So tell me what the hell we doin' for?
'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on, oh-oh
I gotta live my life before it's gone (Live my life before it's gone)

Why ain't no one there for me?
'Cause I've been spendin' all my time
Givin' all of me, 'til I got nothin' left
But emptiness

We, we ain't here for long, oh-oh
So tell me what the hell we doin' for?
'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on, oh-oh
I gotta live my life before it's gone (Before it's gone, before it's gone)
We, we ain't here for long, oh-oh
So tell me what the hell we doin' for?
'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on
I gotta live my life before it's gone (Live my life before it's gone)

(I gotta live my life)
Live my life before it's gone (I gotta live my life)
Oh, yeah, yeah (I gotta live my life)
Live my life before it's gone

Did you ever drove late in the night feeling trapped by your thoughts, while listening at high-volume music?

I used to do so each weekend in the past, when I was working in a pub in the 90s..  and I somehow miss that special time with my thoughts.. even today <3

MOVEMENTS
I. Pascal’s Triangle
II. Noether’s Theorem
III. Einstein’s Daydream
IV. The Hammers of Pythagoras

PROGRAM NOTE
Relative Theory is a four-movement, ca. 12 minute work for flute (doubling piccolo), oboe (doubling English horn), clarinet (doubling bass clarinet), and piano. Each movement is inspired by a mathematician or theoretical physicist. I was inspired by a story that the commissioning ensemble, the Exponential Ensemble, told me about how much they enjoy performing programs for children that relate math to music. In a fun, yet hopefully meaningful way, the movements of my piece are designed to draw parallels between these two distinct, but interrelated worlds.

The title Relative Theory is a play on words: it loosely refers to Albert Einstein’s famous Special Theory of Relativity, but also to musical theories and theoretical principals that are used between each of the movements. All of these movements are inspired by mathematicians or theoretical physicists, and their theorems and theories inspire the music itself.

In Pascal’s Triangle, triads and intervallic content are structured so as to use binomial coefficients in musical ways. In Noether’s Theorem, the music mirrors her theorem, which states that every differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. Einstein’s Daydream, perhaps the most fanciful movement, quotes a few themes from Beethoven, J.S. Bach and Mozart, three composers who’s music Einstein loved to play on his violin. The work ends with a movement entitled The Hammers of Pythagoras, inspired by a legendary, apocryphal but nevertheless playful tale of Pythagoras passing by a blacksmith at work one day, and discovering that musical notes could be translated into mathematical equations.

There are some fascinating programmatic relations that dictate how thematic materials are used in various movements. Albert Einstein thought very highly of Emmy Noether, a mathematician who never achieved the fame she deserved because she was female. In fact, some of her theories inspired Einstein. Therefore, some of the themes in the second movement are used in the third. Einstein and Pythagoras both figure prominently in music history, albeit for different reasons, so themes from each of these movements permeate back and forth.

Relative Theory was commissioned by the Exponential Ensemble, with funding from the New York State Council on The Arts (NYSCA).

American composer Robert Paterson is a true New Yorker—born and bred in Buffalo, he lived in Rochester and Ithaca for over ten years, in New York City for over twenty years, and now lives in Saratoga Springs, near the Adirondacks. Paterson’s colorful music embraces a wide variety of themes, everything from goddesses and online dating to mathematics and the environment. His music is filled with emotion and fierce rhythmic energy, marked by elegance, wit, and meticulous craftsmanship. Named Composer of The Year by the Classical Recording Foundation at Carnegie Hall, Paterson is the winner of the Alfred I. DuPont Award, and his opera Three Way won the Grammy® under Best Classical Producer of the Year. His music is often a Best of the Year pick on National Public Radio. His orchestral tone poem, Dark Mountains, regularly airs on NPR’s Performance Today. Three Way premiered with Nashville Opera, then BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), and across the United States. Minnesota Orchestra, Louisville Orchestra, The Oratorio Society of New York, Buffalo Philharmonic, Albany Pro Musica, Albany Symphony, Musica Sacra, Austin Symphony, Vermont Symphony, and ensembles worldwide perform his works. Paterson gives masterclasses at the Curtis Institute of Music, New York University, the Aspen Music Festival, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and more. He is the Artistic Director and house composer for Mostly Modern Projects. Robert is a lifelong vegan and advocates for animals and the environment, celebrating the natural world with ground-breaking works such as his Triple Concerto, A New Eaarth, Listen, and I Go Among Trees.
