PROGRAM NOTE
Snapshots is part of a series of pieces I have been writing recently that are comprised of short “vignettes”, each movement distinct in character and based on an imagined scene, mood, or effect. After a boisterous introductory movement, typical of my works that are inspired by dance music, the subsequent movements II and III are whimsical and playful, like peering into a diorama, precisely staged and complete, evocative of a town square where children may play boisterously, followed by a passing storm that never quite breaks. The final movement is a call to my earlier influences of film music and Ravel and Debussy string quartets.
