Program Notes
Variants on a Czech Love Song was composed for and is dedicated to Frank Stachow and the Lebanon Valley College Woodwind Choir. It is based on the beautifully melancholic Bohemian folksong, Louceni, louceni (Parting, parting), which served as the theme of the composition. The song tells of the sorrow of two lovers parting.
In the development of the theme, Variants on a Czech Love Song is also suggestive of the joyful moments of the lovers' past and, at the end of the composition, of their hope for a reunion in the future. The piano solo functions as the leading partner in a dialogue with the woodwinds.
