Hiccups!! (2019)
Recording from a live performance by Dr. Dan Lipori on Saturday, 10/12/2024, at Central Washington University as part of its 2024 New Music Festival.
Program Notes
Hiccups!! is, as clearly as the title suggests, about hiccups: the entire piece is primarily based on a hiccup-like motive of a wide ascending leap and its variations. The leaps become wider, and the mood becomes wilder… and let’s see what happens at the end!! I composed this 5-minute piece for Cecil Nelson, a former student of mine at Syracuse University.
