With the exception of my Capriccio for Two Pianos, dedicated to the memory of my father,all the music on this CD was commissioned by those who wished to have me compose a musical memorial for loved ones.

In all cases, as the notes for each piece will explain, I tried to capture the "essence" of those being memorialized.
