Recorded New York City
2006

Bolero; op. 4, no. 5

Kristian Banatzianou, primo
Mladen Taskoff, secondo

from Incidental Music to Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, op. 73

In ternary form.  In the central section I fall back on the traditional hee-haw minor ninth when Puck applies the ass's head mask to poor Bottom the Weaver.  Later in the play, when Puck takes it off, you can hear me inverting the hee-haw into ...haw-hee!

Entrance of the Mechanicals for piano four hands, from op. 73

Nevsky String Trio

Motives from first movement (a slow pavane) get sped up considerably for use in the second (a fast waltz).

Diptych for string trio, op. 27

Gregg Smith Singers
Gregg Smith, conductor

from The Sermon on the Mount, op. 19

Basses sing a pedal E-flat in "Seek, And You Shall Find," then break out into the fugal motive (in that same key) of "Upon A Rock."  Thus do I regard these two numbers together as a prelude and double fugue.

Seek, And You Shall Find & Upon A Rock; op. 19, nos. 6 and 7 (live)

Scores are available for study or performance for the asking, in pdf form or as hard copy.
