about

composed in the Dashain (now Delores) living room one piece per night for a week
www.sbcoop.org/housing.html#dolores

The grapes vary from rigid formal processes to more freely composed: 3 is a strict canon which very quickly folds in upon itself until the content of each voice is not distinguishable; 5 is modeled after the ricercar, an early baroque contrapuntal form exploring a very short motif; 2 attempts to treat the diatonic set atonally; 4 is a 'song without words' (after Mendelssohn) in which the 'vocal' line strays away from the harmonic implications of the accompaniment, and is mirrored by a 'shadow' line in the bass which pushes even further against the static harmonic world of the inner voices; 1 was freely composed.
