Scene was commissioned by
the Jerusalem Symphony
Orchestra in cooperation
with the city of
Jerusalem for the
celebration of the fourth
Testimonium, a festival
to preserve Jewish
heritage. The work was
written in September,
1975, and premiered in
Jerusalem in February,
1976, with the Jerusalem
Symphony, Juan Pablo
Izquierdo conducting, and
Adi Etzion as soloist. It
is dedicated to Recha
Freier, the originator
and prime mover of the
festival. Nuptial Scene
is based on a simple
medieval poem of
prenuptial instruction.
Part of it is in Catalan
and part in Hebrew. The
poem originated in
Catalonia, where a highly
developed Jewish
community existed until
the expulsion of 1492. A
mother is instructing her
daughter in the ways and
strategies of marriage
and rejoicing with a new
song for a new bride.
When I initially planned
the setting for this
lovely poem, I realized
that the age of the
daughter would be about
twelve, for girls in that
historical period were
married at puberty. This
set in motion a scheme
for the composition,
since my oldest daughter
was thirteen at that
time, and I used her
psyche to give me
direction. When a girl of
twelve or thirteen thinks
of a wedding, she is
completely captivated by
its frills -- the dress,
the party, the dancing.
In her imagination, the
reality of a husband or
any kind of domestic
responsibility would be
nonexistent. Therefore,
during the mother's
ardent pleas,
instructions,
admonitions, and even
innuendos, the daughter's
mind wanders and dreams
of dancing. Musically,
the rather straight,
somber rhythm and melody
of the song are
interrupted by an
independent, faster dance
speed of the bongos and
by scattered fragments of
an actual medieval
Spanish-Jewish dance. At
the point where the
mother speaks of sensuous
marital problems, she
herself becomes excited,
and in a nostalgic,
dreamlike spirit -- with
the use of improvised
melodic lines for which
only the gestural
outlines are given -- she
goes into a kind of
rapturous trance. The
daughter, however, seems
unmoved, and she falls
asleep. The mother calms
down, puts her head on
the daughter's shoulder,
and quietly muses, then
also closes her eyes.

680160016303. 8.5 x 11
inches. The Quintet
for Piano and String
Quartet was written for
the American String
Quartet in the summer of
2000. It is in one
movement but has two
distinct parts. The first
is a slow movement
characterized by dotted
rhythms. It is a fantasy
with some long flowing
lines interrupted by
short fragments usually
in the piano. After a
rather agitated section
in 6/8 time, this section
comes to a quiet close on
a G-sharp major chord.
The second section of
this thirteen-minute work
is marked Fast and
Energetic. It begins with
chords that recur
throughout the movement
and after two measures a
long main theme is
introduced which is
developed and altered
during the rest of the
fast portion of the work.
One could call this
second part a sort of
rondo form since this
long lyrical theme
returns always after
contrasts. When it does
return, it is treated
often by means of
imitation, but at the
climax returns played in
unison by the strings
while the piano renders
an energetic sixteenth
note background. The work
ends on an E-flat major
chord though the piece is
certainly not in any one
key, but rather features
quick modulations. One
might call this non-tonal
music which nevertheless
always feels like it has
a tonal center. --Samuel

was commissioned by the
Friends of the Phoenix
Public Library for the
dedication of the new

possible in part through
the funds from the
Arizona Commission on the
Arts, and Meet the
Composer-Arizona. Diary
of a Journey was composed
between July and
September 1995 for the
group Arpeggio. During
the early summer of 1995,
my wife and I took a
vacation to Prague and
Budapest. It was the
first trip for both of us
to these former Iron
Curtain capitals. The
train ride through the
beautiful country-side,
the dilapidated small
villages and towns, the
magnificent architecture
and the feeling of
grandeur in the two major
cities left an indelible
impression on me. I
longed to write some kind
of an essay about it.
Diary of a Journey is the
result of some of these
thoughts, which were
sketched (musically) as
we visited each place.
There are four
'snapshots' or movements
which do not portray a
specific scene, but
rather try to capture the
impressions I gathered
from the people we
observed and met, and the
many awe-inspiring
experiences we had.
Throughout the journey, I
felt that people were
clinging to a tenacious
hope for a better future,
no matter how long it
will take to realize it.
In the first movement
each player portrays a
struggle against all
odds, and with great
energy and even wit tries
to overcome the
obstacles, ending on one
serene high note as a
resting point after all
the conflict. The second
'snapshot' tries to
capture the deep faith of
a newly regained
religiosity. It is
chant-like, and uses as
its basic melodic
material a famous Czech
hymn, penned by the great
religious reformer John
Huss. This movement is
played very freely,
without bar-lines and
with the hymn shining
through the fervent
chanting. The third
movement is a kind of
'demonic' scherzo. Fast
and furious, the three
instruments vie with one
another in a true
perpetual motion frenzy,
which is at times
relieved by short, more
pastoral melodic
fragments. A rather wild
ending should leave
everyone breathless.
Finally, in the fourth
'snapshot' the
instruments play a bit
more as a team, meaning
that is that there is
more melody with
accompaniment, and more
imitative music giving
the impression of a group
effort. The energy is
still at a high level but
long lyrical lines
abound, accompanied and
interrupted at times by
undulating fast notes
still depicting the
struggle against the
blight which any visitor
notices all around these
countries, yet also
showing the determination
of the people to conquer
adversity. --Samuel

of Call, a suite of five
movements for two violins
and guitar was written
for the Trio Triento for
their New York debut.
Composed in the Summer of
1992, it was premiered in
April 1993. 1992 was the
500th anniversary of the
1492 expulsion of the
Jews from Spain and, of
course, Columbus' trip to
America. To commemorate
these important events, I
was commissioned by
organizations in 20 major
cities to write an
oratorio. The result was
Ever Since Babylon. The
musical material was
greatly influenced by
tunes from around the
Mediterranean region.
These Sephardic melodies
took on treat meaning for
me, and I took five of
them and expanded them
into these five pieces
which are actually
dances. I felt that the
combination of two
violins and guitar lent
itself well as a vehicle
for this music. The names
of the cities are used
because the tunes
originated in these
particular locations.
Marseille, a typical
provencale dance with
naturally changing meters
and a light, airy, touch.
Alexandria, much more
mysterious and languid,
reflecting the heat and
inertia of that glorious
city in slow though
sometimes steady
movement. Salonika, a
wild dance in typical
Greek fashion celebrating
a holiday with abandon.
The whirling movement
goes relentlessly from
beginning to end. Haifa
is represented by two
beautiful chant-like
pastoral tunes which
introduce the beauty and
luminous quality of this,
one of the most beautiful
parts in the Eastern
Mediterranean. Valencia,
the last, a tribute to
medieval Spain. The music
is a culmination of the
influences of the three
great cultures, Moslem,
Christian, and Jewish,
which flourished there
for hundreds of years. It
is an uplifting dance
with just a tinge of
sadness in the center,
since the Golden Age of
which the tune was a
part, had come to a
tragic end in 1492.

680160001316. I
have always been fond of
writing works for
specific people or
organizations. It has
been my good fortune
during most of my
creative career to be
asked to compose for many
extraordinary performers.
The Sonata for
Harpsichord Solo is such
a case in point: it was
written in 1982 for
Barbara Harbach, a superb
performer, close friend,
and collaborator on many
musical projects. The
Sonata was premiered on
March 2, 1984, in a
recital given by Dr.
Harbach at Nazareth
College in Rochester, New
York. During my formative
years as a composer, one
seldom heard of the
harpsichord as a modern
instrument, though while
I attended undergraduate
school at Boston
University, some of us
banded together to
construct a small
harpsichord from one of
the first do-it-yourself
kits which began to
appear in the late '40s.
It was also during this
time that I heard the
Sonatina for Violin and
Harpsichord by my teacher
Walter Piston and
consequently specified
that the accompanying
instrument for my second
violin sonata could
either be a piano or a
harpsichord. It was not
until recently, however,
that my interest in the
harpsichord as a solo
instrument for new music
was aroused. This was
because of the emergence
of so many young
virtuosi, such as Barbara
Harbach, who are
interested in the
performance of new music
besides the great
harpsichord music of the
Classical, Baroque, and
pre-Baroque eras. The
keyboard music of
Domenico Scarlatti has
always intrigued and
fascinated me. The
brevity, excitement, and
clarity of this sparkling
music is charming as well
as exhilarating. It is
this type of Baroque
sonata that inspired the
conception and form of my
harpsichord sonata. The
entire work is loosely
based on the musical
translation of Barabara
Harbach's name,
especially the conflict
of the B (B-flat) and H
(B-natural in German
notation). This secondo
rub or dissonance
especially pervades the
first movement, which is
in a modified sonata
form, pitting jagged and
tense melodic elements
against most lyrical and
smooth lines. This second
movement is a song-like
melody accompanied by
rolled chords which may
be played on the lute
stop of the instrument if
this sonata is performed
on a two-manual
harpsichord. The final
movement is an
ever-driving joyous
toccata which brings the
work to an exciting close
with a coda made up of
accelerating repeated
chords. --Samuel
