Program Notes
A JIG for the merry month of May: cheerful, spectacular Celtic dance in fast 6/8 time
In May 2024 I got the idea for a new piece.
It had to be a piece inspired by the month of May, with its blooming and fragrant flowers, its colorful euphoria,
and the jubilant birdsong, of the cheerful month of May.
I wanted to make a piece in G major, the key of Taurus, the cheerful spring key of the beautiful month of May...
And I wanted to make a JIG, in a celtic style, a vibrant and vital piece in 6/8 time, with the fire and enthusiasm of the euphoria of springtime.
That's why I called the piece:
A JIG FOR THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY
The final section uses different thematic material than the entire opening section, because the final section leads to an increasingly intense apotheosis, and the opening motif may have been sufficiently addressed.
The opening motif only returns briefly just before the end in the bass.
