Tagoriana

 three pieces for recorder (or flute, or any melodic instrument)

December 2016 - February 2017

I - Kailash, the witty cashier (2:45)

II - We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us (3:15)

III - Friendship is like fluorescence (1:20)

Total Duration: 7:20

 

The titles are references to the life and writings of Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

I

We had an old cashier, Kailash by name, who was like one of the family. He was a great wit, and would be constantly cracking jokes with everybody, old and young; recently married sons-in-law, new comers into the family circle, being his special butts. There was room for the suspicion that his humour had not deserted him even after death. Once my elders were engaged in an attempt to start a postal service with the other world by means of a planchette. At one of the sittings the pencil scrawled out the name of Kailash. He was asked as to the sort of life one led where he was. Not a bit of it, was the reply. Why should you get so cheap what I had to die to learn?

Rabindranath Tagore: My Reminiscences | Chapter 2: Teaching Begins (1912)

 II

 We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.

Rabindranath Tagore: Stray Birds (1916)

III

The real friendship is like fluorescence, it shines better when everything has darken.

Rabindranath Tagore (source unknown to the composer).

MO was written for Shannon Finney. When commissioning the work.  Shannon requested a work that had some ties to Kansas City.  For me, Kansas City is known for two things:  BBQ Sauce and Jazz.  Not having any idea how to incorporate BBQ Sauce into my composition, I set about composing a work with jazz ties.  MO makes use of such diverse inspirations at Luciano Berio, Eric Dolphy, John Coltrane and the Missouri Waltz.  MO is the U.S. postal Service official abbreviation for the state of Missouri.
