The weather was magnificent in May. Our friends Seph and Roger met us there. Being long-time veterans of Paris, they took us all over the city: Le Marais, the Left Bank, Montmartre, SacrÃ© Coeur, PÃ¨re LaChaise cemetery, Avenue des Champs-Ã‰lysÃ©es, Jardin du Luxembourg, Jardin des Tuileries, Notre Dame cathedral, Eiffel Tower, the flea market at Porte de Clignancourt, the canal at Saint Martin, etc. Since the weather was so great we basically stayed outside the entire two weeks. My wife Kris said that we had to return next again to Paris to go inside the museums. So we did. The weather in Paris after Christmas was very damp and chilly. So we did indoor activities: Le Louvre, MusÃ©e Dâ€™Orsay, Palais Garnier, etc. We even attended a beautiful performance of Swan Lake by the Paris Opera Ballet at Lâ€™OpÃ©ra Bastille. I should also mention that on both occasions I met up with a former student of mine from Berklee, Joe Makholm. He makes a living in Paris playing jazz piano. Joe got us a gig at the Swan Bar in Montparnasse. On the first occasion we did it as a trio with a French bass player. I played flute. On the second occasion, we did it as a duo. Playing jazz in Paris? You canâ€™t beat that!!! Early this year, Steven Lipsitt and I had a chat about my writing a new work for the Boston Classical Orchestra. My last work for the BCO was a piano concerto with Robert Levin as soloist. I told Steven that this time I wanted to write a symphony. He said, Sure. Go ahead. I told him it would be about Paris. He said he would put Mozartâ€™s Paris Symphony on the same program. I said, Fabulous! Symphony No. 8 â€¦ City of Light (2011) is in five movements. 1. La Seine Presto, Moderato 2. Basilique du SacrÃ©-Coeur Largo 3. Palais Garnier Allegro, Trio 4. Avenue des Champs-Ã‰lysÃ©es Allegro 5. MusÃ©e du Louvre Largo, Moderato This work is dedicated to my wife and muse, Kristin Beckwith.
