Composer's Note:

The pieces in this collection are reflective of many musical cultures: the middle east, Russia, Europe and the Americas, as well as of folk and popular, neoclassic, atonal and third-stream styles. For instance the Overture (Scene de Ballet) includes two polkas -one a "Polka Paraguaya," a British dance-hall tune, a galop and a dramatic, nocturnal ending. The Passacaglia, #11, is both atonal and third-stream (jazz). The individual pieces may be performed in any order but are numbered to provide a satisfying sequence of varied moods, accessibility and complexity.
