- 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.
