Program Notes:
This piece represents the sequential progressions of tension and harmony found in dialogue. In experiencing the piece the listener with an affinity to metaphor can choose one of their choice: dialogue between lovers, dialogue between parents and children, dialogue between humanity and nature, dialogue between intellect and instinct, dialogue between body and sprit, or any other binary relationship that requires dialogue and synthesis. Whatever the context chosen for listening, the musical composition is structured by motivic interaction between “characters” in the piece forming points of musical tension and subsequent syntheses of new meanings or “LUNES.”
LUNE: “…a crescent-shaped figure formed on a sphere or plane by two arcs intersecting at two points.”
