Abstract
-
The Lyric Essay suggests, by its title and the titles of its movements, a link with the methods of rhetoric and speech--a link reinforced by the discursive way its themes vanish from and then realign themselves in its textures. It is in three movements: Discourse, lengthy and complex, is framed by two short, quick movements: first, the Tercet, which, as the name implies, follows the three-line rhyming sequence found in verse, a-b-a. Its two outer sections bind a brief contrasting inner section, yielding a type of scherzo in mood and form. Throughout the piece, the horns are treated in a concertante manner, weaving in and out of the motto call--the tones B-A; and the Epigram, terse but light, closes the essay as the horns' final reference to the motto fades away. ftn*Author wrote two dissertations for his Ph.D. degree.
