A Hudson Cycle<\/em> was written as a wedding gift for two friends. This is music of longing and anticipation; losing a beautiful place, approaching a beloved person. The right hand and the left struggle to synchronise, now succeeding, now failing to coincide. The primary rhythmic figure”\u201da restless polyrhythm of two beats in the right hand for every three in the left”\u201dshould recall the onward rush of the titular river. – Program Notes \u00c2\u00a9 2007 Daniel Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n

Composer’s Note:<\/strong> One of the worst things that can happen to you when you live in New York is that your friends get married and move away. A Hudson Cycle<\/em> is, while dedicated specifically to my friend Megan, dedicated also to everybody left behind.<\/p>\n

A Hudson Cycle<\/em> is recorded on Bedroom Community Hvalur 001<\/a> (Nico Muhly Speaks Volumes<\/em>).<\/p>\n
