comments: "Incantation and Allegro" was written for and dedicated to Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra principal players Cynthia Koledo DeAlmeida (oboe) and Nancy Goeres (bassoon), and for pianist Luz Manriquez.
composer's notes: As the title "Incantation and Allegro" indicates, this work has two very different moods. The first movement is slow, lyrical and somewhat magical sounding. It ends with a solo texture in the piano which moves attaca into the second movement. The allegro remains fast throughout, with a tonal rhythmic texture in the piano and lyrical lines in the oboe and bassoon.
