Septet, opus 77 Variations on a Shaker Tune was commissioned by Mark Ludwig for his educational series in the Western Berkshires of Massachusetts. When he approached me about writing a theme and variations work for the purpose of illustrating musical form, texture and orchestration to a young audience, I thought what better thing to do than to use as a theme a Shaker hymn from near Hancock Shaker Village.

As it turns out Deborah Leah Rentz, a mezzo-soprano who is Marks assistant at the Terezín Music Foundation, has been researching into and transcribing from a Shaker Hymnal, ca. 1850, created and compiled for the Hancock Shaker Village. (Deborahs project is sponsored by the Hancock Shaker Village and the Richmond Performing Series.) So I asked her to put on a DAT tape (those were the days before CDs or digital distribution ) a number of these hymns for me. I immediately fell in love with the very first one on the tape, Grateful Remembrance. It had a soulful, melancholic core; an almost bluesy feeling to it. In this performance, Deborah will sing the hymn a cappella at the beginning. Then, the seven variations will follow.

I. Grateful Remembrance An instrumental version of the hymn.
II. Grateful Chanting Featuring the B-flat clarinet in a pentatonic chant setting.
III. Grateful Funk The bluesiness of the hymn is transformed into a funk riff.
IV. Tango Remembered A four-note fragment from the hymn is transformed into a sultry tango.
V. Sambinha agradecida The yearning flat 6th in the hymn is transformed into a samba Carmen Miranda wouldve have liked.
VI. Canonized Remembrance The hymn is treated to a canonic transfiguration.
VII. Grateful Groove The pentatonic nature of the hymn is spun out in an Afro-cuban dazzle dazzle finale!
