01 Piccolo Concerto In C Major, RV 443 - Allegro

Writ in Water (composed by Kevin Lau)

Performed 24 April 2018. From composer Vivian Fung's program note:
 
'Baroque Melting' was commissioned by California’s San José Chamber Orchestra, who premiered it in October 2017 with Barbara Day Turner conducting. The composer has provided the following note:
 
Imagine music ‘melting,’ an aural experience equivalent to the melting clocks in Salvador Dali’s 'Persistence of Memory,'' for example. This is the heart of 'Baroque Melting,'' in which I take familiar baroque musical ideas and motives, recognizable elements accentuated by the harpsichord, and contort them, bending pitches and phrases out of shape, and then twist them back again into focus. The apotheosis occurs at the end, when a quotation of a Bach chorale, "War Gott Nicht mit uns diese Zeit,"" from his Cantata BWV 14 is warped, ushering the work to its quiet and contemplative ending.
