Program Notes
This piece was originally written and used (in an abbreviated version) as music for the choreography of Fortwylaandmerceandnikandmurrary by Pam Schick, a fellow faculty member at the Evergreen State College, for performances May 13–15, 1979 in Olympia Washington. Since the choreographer needed music with a similar spirit and formal design as a previous piece of mine, Music for Percussion Ensemble and Conductor, performers and listeners may note some similarities between the two compositions. The composition is, as the title implies, a “Diversion” and “Interaction” for percussion trio. The performers in the premiere were dance members of the Evergreen community and Sam Western, Percussion I; Greg Johns, Percussion II; and Steve Yusan, Percussion III.
