Il Sole e L'Altre Stelle

Program Notes

The title for the work was taken from the last line of Dante’s Paradiso:

L’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle

(by the love that moves the sun and the other stars)

This work is in memory of the Canadian pianist Eugenie Ngai (1968-2003).

Much of the melodic and harmonic material is bsed on Eugenie’s name. The rhythms and meter are based on her name and the Dante quote.
