​

PROGRAM NOTE

​

These orchestral pieces are based on my four piano miniatures of the same title. The pieces were first notated by hand in a small A6 notebook and at first were intended for private performance. They are a good representation of the types of gestures which I enjoy playing in my spare time.

​

PROGRAM NOTE

​

These four pieces were written as miniatures both in duration and scope. They were first notated by hand, in a pocket manuscript book, in the summer of 2019. The final movement is unique in that is uses recorded whale song available in the public domain, as a formal model.

 

Um, Ut, Ur, Ug was premiered in Lawrence, Kansas at The University of Kansas, in February of 2020.
