Prelude in G Major (Dear Mother) - Streaming May 29th

The third of twenty-eight preludes is dedicated to my mother, Leslie.

Some of the writing in this piece is partly inspired by favorite films we used to watch together, and it also reflects the love and curiosity for life that she instilled in me.

She spent hundreds and hundreds of hours sitting beside me at the piano, devoted to my lessons — and I’m just one of her seven children.

She’s a rock star… AND she introduced me to Led Zeppelin. 🤘

Love you, Mama.

Prelude in G Major (Dear Mother), releasing May 29th.

What are your favorite poems about mothers? Here is one of mine:

Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of “Mother”—

“To My Mother” — Edgar Allan Poe

Inside Pink Preludes:
Prelude in E-flat Minor (Lift Bridge) is dedicated to Adrian Domingo, with whom I have had the pleasure of sharing six years of life. Our first (tiny) studio overlooked the lift bridge connecting East Harlem in Manhattan to Mott Haven in The Bronx. Here is a collage of photos and videos taken during our time there.

Prelude in E-flat Minor (Lift Bridge)

The next release from Pink Preludes arrives Friday, May 1.

A darker, more suspended point in the cycle. The project unfolds across twenty-eight preludes (fourteen major and fourteen minor) tracing tonal relationships through a shared underlying structure.

This prelude is dedicated to Adrian Domingo, with whom I’ve shared the past six years. Our first apartment was a tiny studio overlooking the lift bridge between East Harlem and Mott Haven, Bronx.

Save the release to hear it when it arrives Friday, May 1.

Inside Pink Preludes: Mapping Tonal Space.

The structure of Pink Preludes follows a geometric map of tonal relationships drawn in the eighteenth century by the German theorist Johann Petri.

Petri’s diagram, one of many from the time, shows how musical keys relate to one another, each separated by an interval of a fifth.

In the Common Practice period (around 1600-1900) composers usually focused their compositions around one tonal center and explored adjacent keys that are represented in Petri’s diagram.

Pink Preludes follows this same underlying map, moving through fourteen major and fourteen minor keys.

Prelude in E-flat Minor is also dedicated to Adrian Domingo, with whom I have had the pleasure of sharing six years of life. Our first (tiny) studio overlooked the lift bridge connecting East Harlem in Manhattan to Mott Haven in the Bronx.

Inside Pink Preludes: What is a Prelude?

Historically, the prelude began as threshold music… something played in preparation for the listener to hear something else.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, musicians often improvised before a performance, testing tuning and establishing the tonal center of the music about to follow.

Over time, composers such as Chopin and Debussy transformed the prelude into a form that could stand on its own in the concert hall.

Pink Preludes honors this tradition through twenty-eight short works for solo piano, written in a quiet contemporary classical sound world often described as “soft piano.”
