An ennead
is a large composition in
nine sections. Historical
examples include an
important early Latin
epic, the discourses of
the neoplatonic
philosopher Plotinus, and
the once popular poem by
Edward Young, first
published in 1745. This
last was re-issued in
1802, in a sumptuous
edition illustrated with
more than five hundred
engravings by William
Blake, whose own Vala is
also an ennead. Young's
poem was called Night
Thoughts, and I had
originally intended to
use the same title for my
own set of quite
independent nocturne-like
pieces. Finally, I
decided on the name
Sonatina, as being a more
accurate description of a
work in which the
interrelatedness of the
sections placed it
somewhere between the
character of a suite and
that of a set of
variations, as well as
emphasizing its artistic
descent from the type of
irregular sonata
pioneered by such
composers as Alkan and
Busoni. -Justin
Connolly.

better, be stronger,
reach farther, dream
bigger, and trust God to
lead us to new frontiers
and scale new heights. We
are a country both built
and sustained by
dreamers. Dreamers who
became doers. Dreamers
who didn’t listen

make dreams come
true…American

The Concerto
for Piccolo and Orchestra
Op.50 was commissioned by
Jan Gippo, principal
Piccolo of the St. Louis
Symphony, who gave the
premiere of the work on
August 18th, 1996, in New
York City with the New
Jersey Symphony Orchestra
conducted by Glenn
Cortese. The occasion was
the annual convention of
the National Flute
Association, who
sponsored the
commission.Jan Gippo had
enthusiastically pursued
the idea of commissioning
a Piccolo concerto from
me ever since he played
orchestral Piccolo in the
premiere of my Concerto
for Flute with James
Galway and the St. Louis
Symphony. Won over by his
enthusiasm, I agreed to
write this work for an
instrument which has had
virtually no concerto
repertoire since the
baroque era. In doing so
I was eager to stress the
lyrical and expressive
qualities of an
instrument which is too
often stereotyped as
being useful for only
brilliant and ornamental
flourishes.The work falls
into three movements
which are united by
thematic and motivic
materials, significant
among which is a twelve
note row which forms the
basis of the second
movement’s
variations. The final
movement, which puts the
seriousness of the first
tow movements aside for
an unbridled romp, makes
use of three explicit
musical quotations at
strategic structural
moments, one of which is
an implicit homage to
Shostakovich, who quoted
from the same work in his
own second Violin
Concerto.Orchestration of
the Concerto was
completed at the
Loew’s Hotel in
Monte Carlo, where I was
situated for the
rehearsal period of my
opera The Picture of
Dorian Gray.The Concerto
for Piccolo and Orchestra

ELSINORE is a saxophone
quartet, THE OLD
CHEVALIER is for bass
trombone and piano, THE
MONKEY is a chamber
orchestra work - but they
all share musical
material in a criss-cross
of contextual references
reminiscent of Blixen's
narrative complexity:
Themes and motivs from
one piece appear in
others in new and
surprising shapes and
combinations. Karen
Blixen's THE DREAMERS has
the most complex
narrative structure of
all her seven gothic
tales.The story is made
up of three tales with
different narrators, but
with the same principal
caracter in various
disguises, all three
imbedded within a fourth
tale that serves as a
framework for the entire
short story. The main
story line unravels the
life of a famous opera
diva who looses her voice
during a terrible fire.
Before this her life was
perpetual bliss, and the
tragedy drives her into
assuming different
personality guises in
order to escape reality.
Toward the end she is
confronted with her true
identity, and dies. THE
DREAMERS isn't 'about'
anything. The music is
inspired by the artistic
content of Blixen's short
story - it's
emotionalism, dramatic
construction, atmosphere,
period and settings - but
unfolds in time and
musical space in ways
that are completely
independent of the
story's narrative
progression... except one
might say that the three
players try their best to
either catch or escape
each other, and that when
they finally meet, it
happens abruptly, even
tragically - and only
barely provides a little
consolation. Duration:
approximately 15
minutes.

The
milonga is a song-dance
developed around 1870 by
the cultures co-existing
in Buenos Aires at the
time. This piece, with a
Mary Louise Bringle
translation, explores the
mystery of God: “I
think I know, but barely
grasp it . . .†and
calls for greater faith.
The music is slow,
rhythmic, richly
harmonic, and
mesmerizing.
