Thoughts, Conflicts, and a Contemplation or Two |
|
"Thoughts" was originally written as a group of piano inventions in 1967. Each piece is quite short with most lasting around a minute. I had intentions of adding more inventions over the years. |
| As an exercise, I scored the first three parts for chamber orchestra in 1990. In 1995, I added two more parts and finished the scoring for all five. |
| Titles for the five part are
1) Thought 1 2) Thought 2 3) Conflict 1 4) Contemplation 2 5) Conflict 2 (The Argument). |
| Musically, there is no organized form to these pieces. Each is constructed quite freely, one note simply moving to the next. Listen to each piece in that context -- one note to the next. |
