The pieces included here were composed over a seven-year span. From Études to Summersong, almost from piece to piece, there is an evolution of my harmonic language that parallels the lengthening of the forms. I have worked toward a language that will refresh a long line (especially as in Summersong), allow for the possibility of setting a melody in a number of different contexts, and extend the possibilities for progression/contrast, balance, and rhyme (especially as in Scattering Dark and Bright). All of the music reflects my natural desire for clarity of line, harmonic recognition, and a sense of phrase. — David Chaitkin
