I composed this piece for my first grand-child, Parker. The piece is in
two parts. The first is the Anticipation of her arrival. The two-note motif
set as minor thirds are to symbolize her mother singing her nameParker.
The motif is stated three times to represent the trimesters and the
anticipation builds with stacked quartal harmonies. This builds to measure 7
when we get Parkers Arrival. The first statement of the theme is set in
three parts (Vln1, Vln2, & Cello) or as an optional trio representing
Parker and her loving parents. The melody is shifted to the 2nd Violin and
Violi leading to the change of character and timbre at Letter C. The celli
take over the melody in this Playful section. Violins and violi accompany
the celli playing pizzicatos to emulate the strum of a guitar. The section
builds with the full orchestra to a brief celebratory climax at Letter D. The
initial two-note motif is restated again to begin the quiet ending to this
lullaby. Sleep tight! Lyrics are set in the piano part for singing this song.
