Program Notes

Hommage à György Kurtág was composed in response to a request from my friend Paul Marleyn for a work to be performed on the same concert as Kurtág's Ligatura – Message to Frances-Marie. My work is a gesture of respect to a composer whose work has been a great influence on my own.

This work was commissioned by the Agassiz Music Festival.
