I. Gently; Allegro II. Grazioso III. Scherzo di medianotte IV. Andante; Allegro

PROGRAM NOTE This is my third Serenade, each one spaced from the others compositionally by about twenty years. My first, Concerto-Serenade* from 1964, was written at Aspen for a brilliant unstable Brazilian violinist (who totaled my car that summer) and string orchestra; it was my first collaboration with the conductor Leonard Slatkin. The second, Orphée-Sérénade*, written in 1984 for the Orpheus Chamber Players, involved several friends (including a former student) in performance. Serenata Notturna, for oboe and string quartet, is especially dedicated to Tony Checchia, for whom my wife Joan Morris and I have regularly performed at Philadelphia Chamber Music Society concerts. Each Serenade involves a string group that can be expanded in numbers if desired; for example OrphéeSérénade was originally intended for woodwind quintet, piano, and string quintet but has been performed and recorded with increased string numbers, and Serenata Notturna, while conceived for the illustrious combination of the Guarneri String Quartet with oboist Richard Woodhams, can also be performed with a not-too-large string orchestra, adding a contrabass part. Although there are more “avant-garde” elements in the 1984 work (albeit used humorously) than in the others, all three Serenades share a grazioso mood, less exploratory than lyrical. Of the three, the last one is perhaps most unabashedly out-and-out in songfulness. Maybe in twenty years if life permits I'll compose a fourth, and of course I have no idea what I'll do that time. WILLIAM BOLCOM

*Concerto-Serenade is found on Albany Records, and Orphée-Sérénade on DGG.

ACCIDENTALS N.B. Accidentals obtain throughout a beamed group. Unbeamed notes within a measure continue the same accidental until interrupted by another note or rest. (Additional courtesy accidentals are given to ensure clarity.) In music with key signatures, traditional rules apply.
