Details:
Commissioned by the Serge and Natalie Koussevitzky Foundation in the Library of Congress for the 15th anniversary of Southwest Chamber Music and dedicated to Phyllis Bryn-Julson, Richard Felciano’s An American Decameron is inspired by the interviews of Studs Terkel. Felciano looks in the American mirror, creating a collective picture larger than each individual part. There are hymns of wise, elderly sages, rigid Quakers, advertising agents, African-American protests and inspirations, a haunting elegy to the homeless (for solo violin & voice), the demeaning reality of a fashion model, the wonder of the mathematics teacher, another elegy on the death of children through school violence, and a final movement, constructed of an ascending ground bass, that sets forth the dreams of a peaceful memorial service.
