Four Interludes (2014)

     I. Ends
     II. Begins
     III. Stops
     IV. Holds

'Four Interludes' is a set of movements based on Charles Ives' 'The Alcotts', from his Piano Sonata No. 2, Concord, Mass., 1840-1860.  Written for Thomas Kotcheff, 'Four Interludes' was commissioned for Thomas' 2014-2015 recital series as a partner piece for the Ives.  Each of the 'Four Interludes' samples and manipulates musical material directly taken from Ives' original.  In the case of two of the movements, 'Ends' and 'Begins', the relationship to 'The Alcotts' is theatrically inspired.  The other two interludes emulate processes used in electronic music sampling and sequencing.
