Five Boston Accents

Five Boston Accents is a five-movement piano solo work of varying and contrasting styles and moods, all intrinsically sharing overarching themes of accented articulations (inspired in a recent visit to Boston where the local dialect was hard to detract from) and share a highly accessible affability and original home-spun ineffably.

With disjointed rhythms and jagged edges, it is a piece of fascinatingly eclectic solo writing that expound upon ornamental accompaniment and the interplay between cross-hand exchanges, using multi-layered, varying voices that develop highly stylized and inventive melodic contours that follow the rhythm of the language, delineating the meaning of the lines. Aggressive syncopations and enthusiastic inner-intricacies across a lurid atmosphere of overarching themes about rhythmic complexity and dense, gripping propulsions cast highly imaginative and ricochets of delightful complications through each interlude, cleanly arranged and employing the full range of the instrument with unflinching, raw surges of climatic power and dramatic flair. The music possesses a high level of interest, contrapuntally turbulent, and emotionally charged entertainment.
