Program Notes

Tiny was written for my youngest son, Reed, who will occasionally talk to himself in the third person, calling himself “Tiny Reed.” This child radiates joy and fills my soul. He is thoughtful, kind, and incredibly silly, and Tiny captures this spirit in that it is beautifully simple, yet full and fun, and each phrase goes right where you want it to. No surprises - just straightforward for the performer, and easy on the ear for the listener.
