About the piece:
For the last year or so I have been writing contemporary versions of baroque dances. There is
something about the order and dignity contained in the meter and forms of these dances that attracts me and seems to work as a good foil for my musical instincts. The timing is not quite right in this sarabande, as if someone is alternately pressing slow motion and fast forward, so the piece becomes a caricature of a dance. Yet I think both the courtly European dance and its wild Spanish ancestor are strongly present underneath the surface. This sarabande is just under 3 minutes long.
