In Fantasy on Blue I employ aspects of my recent electric guitar music and the blues idiom in a chamber work. In the work improvisational gestures are used to capture the energy and expression of the blues without resorting to rhythmic and formal clichés that are so much a part of third stream and crossover classical works. In Fantasy on Blue this was accomplished by providing composed solos, poly-rhythmic/metric complexity, and a dynamic range to engender exploration of blues expression. Over the past summer I composed new works using these principles, and to my surprise their emergence revealed, and brought full circle ideas that have been with me since early in my career.

Momentos, for Viola and PianoThe work is divided into five parts: Part 1 is inspired in the sounds produced by the orchestra when tuning before each concert. There is emphasis on note A and the rhythms are out of phase. In Part 2 the viola “pizzicati” sounds are explored, in an atonal language, with intensive rhythmic dialogue between the two instruments. In Part 3 there is a vigorous rhythmic sense, with some metric changes and rhythmic contrasts, which sometimes, let the two instruments almost discordant with each other. In Part 4 is used the idea of an elastic time, that stretches and contracts. This idea is represented by a motif played by the viola. This motif is developed by a process of addition and subtraction of notes. Part 5 represents the idea of monotony, followed by try to break this monotony. This part begins with repeated elements that little by little, get transformed. Other elements appear, while the texture gets denser and the material presented by the viola acquire a degree of more virtuosity. Part 5 concludes with a brief rarefied texture.
