Program Notes
Carter Pann’s Richard and Renée was written as a gift for two musician friends of his, Renée Kershaw and Dick Floyd. The first movement, Renée’s Reply, is a musical portrait of the time the composer spent with his friend in Italy. According to Pann, “The music strives for a poignancy inspired by this new event in their relationship accompanied by a backdrop so beautiful it defies words. A writer/composer (anyone, for that matter) cannot live on the Amalfi Coast and remain unchanged, unmarked.” The second movement, Floyd’s Fantastic Five-Alarm Foxy Frolic, is in a playful ragtime style, with an ending that the composer describes as “over the top.”
