The première of Daudet's play, L'Arlésienne, with incidental music by Bizet, given at the Théâtre du Vaudeville on 30 September 1872, was a devastating event for both playwright and composer and the production was removed from the repertory after 19 performances. The critic Johannès Weber, however, was alert to the quality of Bizet's score and suggested that the composer should excerpt and rescore several pieces for the Concerts populaires where 'the lovely music would be better appreciated than at the Vaudeville'. Bizet must have moved rather quickly to follow Weber's suggestion, for the première of the first Arlésienne suite took place only six weeks later at the Concerts populaires on 10 November 1872 and the work in its new abridged form was soon taken up by many other orchestras. Bizet, however, did not turn to preparing a second suite from L'Arlésienne. Some four years after Bizet's death, the success of the first suite may have prompted his original publisher to commission the arrangement of more excerpts from the Arlésienne MS from Bizet's good friend Ernest Guiraud who had earlier written recitatives and put together a ballet for Carmen.

In 1872 Bizet wrote the incidental music to Daudet’s famous tragedy ‘L’Arlésienne’. He had to tailor his composition to an orchestra of only 26 players, but these limited forces turned out to pose a stimulating challenge rather than an obstacle. Shortly after the premiere, he arranged four of the movements and formed them into the Suite No. 1 for large orchestra. The Suite No. 2 was arranged by Ernest Guiraud four years after Bizet’s death.

L'Incubo is a short piece (roughly three minutes long) intended for a string quintet. L'Incubo, translating literally to The Nightmare, is in three parts mimicking the construct of a nightmare or night terror. The introduction hastily expresses the beginnings of a night terror through the minor runs in the first violin part, then developed into organized chaos with merging duple and triple meter in the first major section. The first major part fades into a lulling second 'movement', to where the strings terrace in harmonizing parts that increasingly become more minor and blurred as the nightmare comes back to the surface. The initial chaos from the first miniature movement repeats, then fades as the listener 'wakes up' from the nightmare. The piece is relatively easy to read pitch wise, but rhythmic accuracy is a must due to the eerie, combined duple and triple meter. L'Incubo would be well suited for intermediate or advanced musicians. .

When the Reed sisters, Elizabeth & Lydia, asked me to write a new work for two pianos, I wasn't quite sure where or how to begin. Then I came upon a book on numerology by Annemarie Schimmel, The Mystery of Numbers. In it I discovered a lot of fascinating things, mystical and magical, associated with each number from one to 10,000.

Since I would be writing a piece for a duo, double digits would do the trick. Number 22 stood out. It has two important associations: the Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters, and there are 22 major arcana cards or allegories of the Tarot. Perfect! I could write 22 pieces, each a musical rendering of a card.  And, coincidentally, this work will opus 66.

For pictorial inspiration, I bought a Pierpont Morgan Library copy of the Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards from 15th century Italy.

For musical inspiration, I listened to the wonderful salon music of the Polish composer Frederic Chopin, the American composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk, and the Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth.

The 22 pieces in the Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards are:

Zero Il Matto The Fool entertains the gathered guests with a tarantella.
I. Il Saltimbanco The Mountebank shuffles his cards and does a samba.
II. La Papessa The High Priestess concocts a magic potion.
III. L'Imperatrice The Empress dances all night.
IV. L'Imperatore The Emperor promenades into the Great Hall and inspects the courtiers.
V. Il Papa The Pope makes a proclamation that all sinners will be pardoned.
VI. L'Amore Love in a tropical paradise.
VII. Il Carro Triumphant in battle, the gladiators ride into town on chariots.
VIII. La Giustizia Justice is swift and unrelenting.
IX. Il Vecchio The Old Man reminisces.
X. La Ruota della Fortuna Fortunes rise and fall unpredictably.
XI. La Fortezza Strength and fortitude will prevail.
XII. Il Penduto Lamentation for the Hanged Man.
XIII. Il Morte Death lurks around the corner.
XIV. La Temperanza Temperance in A major.
XV. Il Diavolo The Devil seduces with his charm and wit.
XVI. La Torre The tower topples and crashes onto the populace gathered below.
XVII. La Stella Twinkle, twinkle, little star ...
XVIII. La Luna Minuet for moonstruck lovers.
XIX Il Sole Sunshine, margaritas and salsa cubana.
XX Il Giudizio On the Day of Judgment, the angels blow their trumpets ...
XXI. Il Mondo The world would be a happier place if we all dance together.

Performance option: Shuffle the 22 allegory cards from the Tarot deck to determine the order of performance.
