Commissioned by Corky Hale Stoller. and Premiered by Marcia Dickstein of The Debussy Trio in 2002 with the Young Musicians Foundation Orchestra in Beverly Hills, CA. Using the orchestration of Ravel's Introduction and Allegro plus jazz bass, I have fashioned this work as a lyrical blending of European classical music with American Jazz. Not usually known as a jazz instrument, the harp crosses musical boundaries and playfully works both sides of the musical aisle. A fun, challenging piece for a harpist with a written out cadenza with plenty of room for improvisation. Revised 2019
