Program Note

Based on sculptures by Marjorie Michael entitled, A Woman's Journey, portraying vignettes of ordinary scenes from a woman’s life. The musical structure is a theme and variations. Each variation, which is a separate movement, becomes a new theme to be varied with its own set of internal variations, creating a macrocosm/microcosm unified by the single musical cell of the theme.

I. Introduction/ Praeludium

II. Country Fiddle

III. Passacaglia

IV. Mechanical Dolls

V. Ray

VI. Monologue
