Product description

The 'Serenade, composed when I was fourteen, built on a chorale melody written at nine, was one of the contraband pieces of the period. I wrote it away from the [Combs] Conservatory, but under the unofficial eye of Russell King Miller. I was allowed to compose this kind of music as a reward for double assignments in stylistically severe chorale harmonization and cantus firmus contrapuntalizations. I poked fun at the predictably academic and often got in trouble with my teachers. The Serenade was first performed at a concert for alumni on December 21, 1929, by instrumental colleagues interested in music after Tchaikovsky. I managed to round up a violinist to play the flute part, a fine oboist, and a questionable tubist; the remaining seven parts I had to cover myself on a tracker organ. (I’d started organ at eleven, as soon as my legs were long enough to reach the pedals.)
