From
the composer: Evensong
was composed at the
request of my friend
David Wick, principal
hornist of the Virginia
Symphony Orchestra. He
asked that I compose a
recital piece for him to
play with the orchestra's
music director, JoAnn
Falletta, who is also a
virtuoso guitarist. The
only stipulation he made
was that the work include
fragments of one of his
favorite melodies,
“Lasst mich
alleâ€, from Four
Songs, Op. 82, by
AntonÃn Dvorák. The
melody is also quoted in
the Adagio movement of
Dvorák’s Cello
Concerto in B Minor, Op.
104, B. 191. The music is
absolute in nature and
cast in the form of a
single movement fantasy
based loosely on
Dvorák’s melody,
which is stated at the
outset and at the
conclusion.
