These Epigrams are little snatches of music, all less than a minute long. The challenge for the composer, and subsequently performer and listener, is to try and pin each one down before they flit away, like so many thoughts and inspirations which evaporate prior to translation. Epigrams was premiered in Novemeber, 2000 by Steve Chapdelaine
Epigrams is dedicated (in no particular order or correspondence) to my wonderful friends: Dave Eaton, Mark Nixon, Brian Seitz, Chris Joyce, Olivia Malin, Annelisa Pederson, Andrea Canniff, Steve Chapdelaine, Lee Smith, and Greg Knudsen.
