Work Overview
St. Mark's Scherzo takes its name from the bustling East Village area of New York where it was composed. Full of rich characters and a vibrant history, it is an ever changing landscape of cultural diversity, one that still manages to keep its effortless charm and appeal. The piece is musically anchored by a simple theme, yet in a nod to the constant hustle and bustle of activity on St. Mark's Place, is forever surrounded by movement and eclectic exploration. Baroque devices such as canon and fugue combine with motto perpetuo and more contemporary techniques, culminating in a dramatic coda that draws the piece to its ultimate conclusion.
