Par YE XIAOGANG. 'Datura was commissioned by Accessible Contemporary Music and was written in a unique way. I composed the piece in installments over the summer of 2006 and emailed them to Seth Boustead who forwarded them on to the ensemble.

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Franz Schubert’s popular German Mass of 1827 follows in the footsteps of Michael Haydn’s work Deutsches Hochamt by turning to a German translation of the Ordinary mass. Its homophonic texture and largely syllabic setting of the words make it more accessible to lay choruses than Schubert’s masses in Latin, an advantage reinforced by its diatonic melodic writing and constantly sl…

The instructions on playing technique and aesthetics at the beginning of the movement provide information on the interpretation of the individual pieces. Despite much interpretive and dynamic information of…

Par DE HAAN JAN. Inspiration was commissioned by the Solothurnischer Kanotonal Musikverband in Switzerland in 1993. The composition begins with an A-theme written in a Phrygian tonality and, after an enormous climax, moves on into a quicker B-section, characterized by the use of wide interval jumps.

The key of D minor sets the stage for this lyrical solo. The melody is written using mostly whole notes in the left hand and is accompanied by broken chords in the right hand. The quick tempo and syncopated pedal allow the melody to flow expressively. This is an excellent piece for working on balance between the hands. Practice steps that include the right hand while playing the left hand as writt…
