| Notes | Inspired by the music of Lou Harrison, the piece explores Harrison's frequent use of what he called "melodicles:" miniature melodies structured out of only a few notes that are then elaborated through permutation techniques. Both the text and music are, by turns and degrees, meditative and ecstatic exercises in variation. (Search) |
