Pacific Serenade

About this work: Published by: PEERMUSIC III, LTD (BMI)
Pacific Serenade is a set of 'peaceful serenades' as in romantic, improvised music which is sung at night under the stars. The main 'singer' here is the clarinet. In general the music is extremely quiet, delicate, sensuous and sentimental. The first movement introduces the mood and sets the stage where the serenade will take place. The second movement (rich in Blues' idioms) is of a sensuous and intimate nature. The third movement uses nostalgic melodic inflections in the style of Brazilian folk song.
Pacific Serenade is my opus 59 and it was commissioned by, and dedicated to the Pacific Serenades Ensemble. The ensemble's name inspired the title and mood. In this age of boom boxes, media bombardment of information and pop culture becoming increasingly aggressive, boisterous and violent, I feel the need to write just the opposite.
