Inspired by the
French Romantic and
Impressionist traditions,
my romances for fute and
piano, composed during
late July and early
August 1984, was
carefully conceived for
the marvelous lyrical and
technical gifts of Robert
Stallman and Richard
Goode, to whom the work
is warmly dedicated. All
three Romances, although
brief in duration, unfold
with a sense of large
gesture and design. The
first Romance is in 3/4
time and flows generally
in the manner of a
lyrical waltz with
occasional turbulent
interruptions. The second
Romance is in 4/4 time,
unfolding in a stately
Baroque-like manner, and
the third Romance is in
2/4 time, melodically
expansive and often
tempestuous. All three
Romances strive to honor
the goals of traditional
performance practice
while, at the same time,
they create an energy and
drama of modernity and
contemporary richness.
And for these goals I am
indebted to so many of
the most outstanding
performers and conductors
of our time with whom I
have worked and from whom
I have learned
much– those who
have demonstrated the
importance of preserving
in addition to further
developing those
significant natural
attributes of musical
expression and
traditional performance
practice which are so
often ignored in
contemporary
compositional values.
