PROGRAM NOTE
“Primavera” is the Italian word for spring, and may also be translated
literally as “first truth.” For me, spring brings to mind not only the
springtime celebration of Easter, but also Nowruz, the Persian New Year
celebration which begins on the spring equinox. Among several melodies
of a celebratory character, I included one inspired by a mode of Iranian
classical music called Chakâvak (“warbler”), which is thought to evoke
birdsong—such as that which may be heard on a spring day.
