Program Notes

In Aria da Capo, by intermingling comic and tragic elements, the author has produced a work of sin­gular unity within the Baroque aria form. Surrounded by a shower of frivolous persiflage, the barrierswhich separate men and nations form the tragic central theme of the work which, despite its veneer,is extremely timely ... P.C. and A.T.

The Brillig Requiem uses the text of "Jabberwock" from Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll(Charles Dodgson). In the Center Piece the audience becomes a functioning part of the performinggroup. Portions of this movement are recorded at the time of the performance and played back in thefinal Ending Piece as nostalgic memories of a sort ... A.K.R.

The score for Music for a Celebration indicates that it is written "For anyone who wants to Celebrate"... P.C. and A.T. and A.K.R.

In Cassiopeia, graphic notation has been used by the composer to design a work in which the visualelement is juxtaposed with the aural. Within a prescribed framework, one individual performance isallo,ved considerable latitude through aleatoric selection ... P.C. and A.T.

Note: Since Cassiopeia will be performed in various locations in and around the Music Building Com­plex, the audience should feel free to rise and circulate in order to experience various portions of thework.
