Concerto for Piano and Orchestra ("Mosaics")
- Energico
- Largo malincolico
- Allegro misterioso
This is an expansive work in the grand manner of the 19th century concerto but with 20th century, modal/pandiatonic, melodic and harmonic language. Three contrasting ideas are developed successively throughout the first movement. The second movement, in ABA' form, begins with a blues-related theme. The B section is a quiet dance which slowly dissolves into the opening blues. The last movement is based on a single theme, the first notes of the well-known "dies irae" chant. There is a short respite before the whirlwind coda.
