about

Composed for my dear friends Tasha Warren and Dave Eggar, “Snapshots” is a collection of musical impressions. I started composing “Snapshots'' while in residence at the historic home of Aaron Copland. While there, I thought about Copland's generosity towards other artists in his community (particularly Leonard Bernstein), about my place in my own musical community, and about those who had been kind to me as a young musician—for this piece, I specifically thought about Geri Allen, Chick Corea, Kenny Barron, and Marin Alsop. As “Snapshots” developed, it revealed itself to be a jumble of impressions of these individuals (short phrases or textures that reminded me of them) accompanied by mental images of Dave and Tasha rocking out. To paraphrase Copland, the compositional process that followed involved assembling materials consisting of these impressions.

Generous acts, like those of Copland, pass from person to person reaching from past to present and forming the foundations of musical communities along the way. The reach of this network is profound: My presence at Copland's piano, composing “Snapshots,'' was a direct result of these acts of kindness. The same can be said of Dave Eggar, who took piano lessons with Copland (as a kid) in that very same house on that very same piano. Our music and artistic identities are a product of these generous acts. “Snapshots” is a celebration of those individuals whose acts of kindness brought us together. - Pascal Le Boeuf
