Songs Of Innocence is a collection of short, lyrical pieces averaging about 3 minutes each, intended as recital pieces in any combination or played separately. Their emphasis is on expressing beauty, innocence, and a love of small children. With the exception of Kane's Trains they are not technically difficult works.
(not yet premiered in the U.S.)
Program Notes:
The pieces in Songs Of Innocence were written from 1999 to 2002, a time in which, owing to my own children, my immediate surroundings were abundant with images of the very young. Laughing, crying, staring in awe at the rain, angellic or devillish, small children never cease to inspire, to help us know who we are. The collection is fondly dedicated to my wife, my daughter and my son.
