Program Notes
Out of the quiet intensity of the opening measures evolves a music suspended both in time and tonality, yet full of portentous meaning. From an increasingly sonorous landscape, a chorale-like tune gradually emerges, and this becomes the primary thread of the composition. As tonal development ensues, the music reveals a bold dramatic context suggestive of the Romantic era. Yet my tonal language, which is often triadic and at times even functional, is nevertheless modern and highly idiosyncratic. In The Whisperer, I strive for a strong sense of "comprehensibility," something that I feel is lost in many contemporary styles. Ultimately, I believe in breaking new ground while reconnecting some of the broken threads that link the music of our time to music from the past.[1]
