Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Gargoyles, Op. 29 Lowell Liebermann
Written in 1989, Gargoyles is a four-movement, twelve-minute work that champions atmosphere and color throughout. Following an energy-charged opening movement, the two interior movements underscore ideas of stasis and impressionism respectively before yielding to a surge of rhythmic and dynamic energy that reaches a resounding climax in the final movement. Composer Lowell Liebermann is economical in his use of motivic material, often building and developing larger structures from a short series of pitches or intervals. For example, the opening three note motive: A - G-sharp - F natural appears as prominent melodic material before being developed into a broader and supporting accompanimental gesture.
