Four Impressions

I composed Four Impressions for the American cellist, Terry King, currently on the faculty of the Longy School of Music in Boston. The piece was originally titled Green Lake: Four Impressions, after the Green Lake Music Festival in Wisconsin, where Terry performed the work in July 1988. A longtime supporter of new music, Terry was for many years a member of the Mirecourt Trio, in residence at Grinnell College in Iowa. He and his colleagues, Kenneth Goldsmith, violin, and John Jensen, piano, commissioned a great deal of new music for piano trio, including my Elegy and Exaltation (1982), which they frequently performed and also recorded. Without question, Terry and hiscolleagues played a major part in my early development as a composer. '
