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 DvorákÂ’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 DvorákÂ’s melody, which is stated at the outset and at the conclusion.
