PROGRAM NOTE
It’s been a joy to reimagine and orchestrate Jessie Montgomery’s Rhapsody No. 2, originally a solo violin piece that I had the honor of commissioning and recording for my solo album, Planetary Candidate. Reimagining a piece that I’m already intimately acquainted with has been gratifying, and this short and brilliant work expanded into a larger instrumentation with ease.
One of my aims with this work was to have the orchestra explore various forms of relationship to the soloist, ranging from a respectful accompanist point-of-view to an egalitarian we-are-all-in-this-together vibe, to a more dramatic musical coup, to one lonely and vulnerable moment where our soloist stands alone.
From an arranger’s perspective, the colors and expressive multiplicity readily available via the source material of Montgomery’s original work are limitless, and the Zen-like presentness that she unapologetically weaves in with serious gotta-practice-five-hours-a-day virtuosity is nothing short of breathtaking.
