Kyripo, a five minute solo piano work, existed in my fingers long before it emerged on paper. It began as an improvisational work exploring shifting modal harmonies and symmetrical movement. While the tonic strongly suggests Phrygian mode, the triadic implications of the various modes is intended to engage the listener and keep the piece from conforming to its expected idioms. On the SLICES album from Navona Records. Available from Amazon or Parma Recordings.
