Programme Note
Composer Note:
Recollections, commissioned by the New Amsterdam Ensemble for the Dutch-American Bicentennial Celebrations in 1982, was composed in Ithaca, New York, during the winter of 1981-82, with pianist Walter Ponce and the New Amsterdam Ensemble at The Coolidge Auditorium of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. This concert commemorated the Netherlands-American Bicentennial of Formal Diplomatic Relations (1782-1982).
Recollections consists of six contrasting movements, each of which explores different aspects of the sonorities and virtuoso techniques of the individual instruments, as well as the new sonorities possible with the combination of piano and winds. Some passages are indicated in a relatively free notation to allow performers a certain freedom, but, in general, the music is precisely notated.
