Nocturne (for piano) (2018)
- Associated Music Publishers Inc (World)
Commissioned in honor of Linda Reichert’s tenure as Artistic Director of Network for New Music
Programme Note
Composer Note:
In writing a short piano piece to mark Linda Reichert’s leadership of Philadelphia’s prime new music series, I had two words running through my head: open-mindedness and persistence. It was a truly inclusive network. Linda’s combination of drive and patience kept it evolving over many years.
Below a serene surface my Nocturne strives to find some of these qualities, hard to find notes that turn out to belong together, taking their time, and looking for a releasing last chord.
