Plums
Lori Laitman
About this work:
The first of the two songs in Plums was composed on a beautiful spring day in 1996, as I sat on a bench waiting for my youngest son to return from a school field trip. Its "flavor" is different from much of my other work. The piano accompaniment has a heavy emphasis on beats 1 and 3 throughout the opening of the song and the midsection is slightly reminiscent of slow ragtime. This is just to say is the shortest song I've ever written. Running 24 seconds, it was too short for a separate ID number on this CD. The "mmm" at the end is my creation.
