Program Notes
Incidental Suite is written in three movements. The Tarantella provides a fast 6/8 dance characterized by the constant use of hemiola -- a syncopated rhythm of three notes in two counts. In contrast, the Nocturne croons a slow, lazy melody accompanied by lush and sometimes dissonant harmonies. The Rondo opens in a rather martial style with the percussion section stating rhythmically what becomes the main theme of this finale. Throughout the movement, short interludes of dialogue between the percussion section and other sections occur. For example, in the last few bars, as the piece seems to have come to an end, the percussion section breaks back in with the final word.
