PROGRAM NOTES

When I started this work I was interested in exploring the subject of love. Adam and Eve suggested itself as a title because, to me, they seemed the perfect ‘80’s couple – two adults thrown together, mutually attracted, but without a rule book or course to follow. Although I hope the title might help engage the listener’s imagination, the work is not programmatic. Outside of the opening – where I did intentionally wish to depict the Garden of Eden as a starting point – I followed no script, nor did I consult the Bible for accurate details. My focus was primarily on exploring, via music, the human experience of love with all the tangents, diversions and complications that might arise.
