The last piece on Todd Reynolds’ recital, “Lasso and Corral” was by Dan Trueman, who also spent some time with fellow
composers during seminar. Many people asked questions about the composition, its click-track, and origin of thought.
From the composer:
“In the study of musical scales and meters, the notion of well-formedness usually manifests itself as a set of specific constraints. For instance, one common constraint is maximal evenness; in the case of a well-formed diatonic scale, the seven notes will be distributed as evenly as possible across the twelve half-steps that divide the octave. Similarly, the beats that define a meter will be spread out as evenly as possible across the smallest pulse that evenly divides the measure…”
