Program Notes

Commissioned by (and dedicated to) euphonium virtuoso David Childs in 2004, Harlequin takes as its inspiration the happy and sad masks that symbolize the Commedia dell'Arte, which features Harlequin as one of its main characters. The work comprises two movements -- a slow modal ballad followed by a frenetic faster movement.
