I have written the harpsichord concerto because I felt compelled by the instrument's intriguing sound and relative lack of modern literature. Inspired by such great predecessors as Manuel de Falla, Bohuslav Martinu, Frank Martin, Francis Poulenc, and Henryk Górecki, I continue in their tradition but speak with my unique voice.
