Program Note
Five Miniatures was written in the summer and early fall of 2008. The collection was inspired by the music written for the Vancouver Miniaturist Ensemble. Every movement has 100 notes or less as defined by the Vancouver and New York Miniaturist Ensembles. Each movement conveys a specific image, feeling, or atmosphere. The titles for each movement come from the poem “Howl” (1955) by Allen Ginsberg (1926–1997). I had been recently introduced to “Howl” and was struck by the bold, graphic imagery.
