Riversong was originally composed for solo vibraphone and was presented in lead sheet format (for an improvising musician's use) and in a completely written-out version. Spelled here for piano, the original flow and lure of a river's pull is augmented by two additional vignettes - Water Catcher and Terra Firma - that depict both an unexpected outing and the satisfaction of a completed trip.

Water Catcher reminds us of what may lie around the next bend when storms follow the river and powerfully replace calm with chaos. Terra Firma confirms our respect and desire for the journey - natural repose and quiescence in harmony with anticipation of revisiting the river's song.

As a young composition student at the Curtis Institute of Music, my teacher, Gian Carlo Menotti, suggested that I write some music for children. He believed that, when writing for children, a composer would soon discover what was true and honest and what was shallow artifice. I was soon to discover that he was right. One of my first published works was a children's ballet entitled The Enchanted Lake. In 1966, I published my first series of piano pieces for children, A Lexicon of Beasties. They were dedicated to my daughters. I now have a 12-year-old son. It seemed fitting that I now write some pieces for him. He plays and enjoys these. It is my hope that they will give pleasure to many others. (1) SHADOW RIDGE RAG - A spirited dance with infectious syncopation and some charming harmonic surprises. (2) THE RIVER - An elegant new setting of a lovely English folk song. (3) FLASH and DASH - A showy, extroverted piece filled with energy and unexpected glissandi.

Fetes galantes was actually planned as a hybrid opera-ballet to a libretto by Debussy's friend Louis Laloy. For this, Laloy arranged selected poetry by Paul Verlaine into three tableaux, replacing an earlier (unstarted) Debussyan project with Charles Morice entitled Crimen amoris. During his last productive summer of 1915, Debussy set a sequence from the start of the first tableau, 'Les Masques', involving stanzas 1 and 3 of the opening song for Mezzetin in Verlaine's comedy Les Uns et les autres. The action is set in a park a la Watteau late one summer afternoon as Mezzetin attempts to entertain a group of nonchalant masqueraders with only the aid of his voice and a mandolin.This appears to have been prefaced by a slower, elegiac introduction reminiscent of the opening of the comtemporary Cello Sonata and it leads to a danced minuet by the masqued dancers which has clear echoes of the piano piece L'Isle Joyeuse (1904). Following Laloy's scenario, the mas-queraders then sing extracts from Verlaine's 'A la promenade' (from Fetes galantes itself). The minuet returns at greater length before being cut short by a chilly gust of wind, after which the park returns to its orginal state (and music) as though nothing had really happened.
