Passage (1991) is structured in two large sections separated by a minimal electronic interlude. The first section presents a toccata-like fabric in which thematic modules are juxtaposed in a manner loosely resembling a rondo. The second part gradually establishes a relaxed, floating ostinato over which thematic material from the first section reappears transformed in content and placed into continually changing contexts. Although this composition does not represent any major stylistic departure from my other works, it is perhaps the one which most clearly alludes to my earlier involvement in jazz, primarily in the electronic sounds and overall rhythmic style of the first section. It is also the only composition of mine to date which quotes another work: the final piano figures presenting a mutated reference to Alban Berg's Four Songs, Opus 2, No. 4.
