Program Notes
Meyer Kupferman composed Moonsticks for a 1986 European composition competition, which won first prize. The piece is a twelve-tone treatment of the old French crusader song, “L’homme Arme.” Kupferman’s compositional style is romantic using free variations around his signature “Infinities” twelve-tone row. Moonsticks was premiered by Manhattan Marimba Quartet member Bill Trigg in New York City.
