Purchase Score
She Rose, and Let Me In is a cycle of variations on a Scottish folksong of the same name, specifically Haydn's adaptation thereof. This piece is a set of variations in the Classical sense; some movements are bracketed by repeat bars, one movement alternates running sixteenth-notes between hands, and so forth. No irony or satire is intended by this adaptation of Classical conventions – I don't bring the theme in in the wrong key, or add “wrong notes,” or bury it in clusters. While I embrace this Classical idiom openly, the intersection between Classical and Modern elements is richly ambiguous.
