Program Note

Prelude 2011 (“brittlesweet”) begins with a brooding set of repeated chords which bookends the piece. The main material consists of 3 components: a singing melody, an accompaniment groove, and a turnaround lick that links phrases. Originally presented in their standard composite configuration, these ideas are subsequently taken out of their prescribed context and developed independently.
