The Fall (2008)
Program Notes
The Fall was written for pianist/composer James Praznik. I met Praznik at the University of Akron, where we became involved in a number of collaborations as well as simply enjoying each other's company. The mood of this piece is a dark reflection of the fall of man. The first movement, Temptation, is full of angular melodies and jarring rhythms. The melancholy second movement, Toil, continually returns to a sighing motive. The piece ends with a toccata and fugue in Anguish of the Soul.
