Chaconne

Composer Notes... A set of variations on a theme in the bass. Originally conceived for orchestra in 1986, this piece gave rise to an adaptation for carillon, which is an ideal medium for variations on a theme in the pedals, and also later for four guitars, then string quartet. (Indicative of the composer’s affection for this piece.) This carillon version was dedicated to James R. Lawson, in 1987 and further revised in 1988.
