Description
This work for solo piano honors the memory of Les Thimmig, described by the composer as “composer, virtuosic improviser and performer, musical architect, bold and gentle spirit, and my mentor and friend.” It also pays homage to Luca Marenzio’s 1599 madrigal “Solo e pensoso,” set to Petrarch’s Sonnet XXXV, in conversation with Thimmig’s haunting Arrhythmia (1973) for wind ensemble. The piece incorporates Arrhythmia’s “Mother Chord” and gently recalls Marenzio’s treatment of the sonnet’s first lines.
