This idea generates the melodies of the individual pieces in a variety of ways. Sometimes it crops up more overtly – especially in the example above, which is a kind of turning point for the record – and sometimes less so, acting more as a motif or set of intervals that can be manipulated into something else.

It’s a method that I’ve used before to achieve thematic unity in two cyclical records of mine, “Elegiac Cycle” and “Places.” What I hadn’t achieved on those records was a way of connecting my motific melody with the larger tonal architecture of the whole, giving the work more structure and a feeling of deeper tension and eventually deeper resolution. It might sound strange or even silly to mention Beethoven here, but his way of generating not just melodic material from a motif, but also larger tonal relationships that unfold and span the entire work, thereby connecting the small scale and large scale, is continually a strong model and source of inspiration for me. The scholar and pianist Charles Rosen explains how Beethoven changed everything in music: “In Haydn, everything comes from the themeout of the character of the theme and its possibilities of development arises the shape of the musical discourse. Beethoven carried this a step further: the relation between large-scale structure and theme was equally intimate, but both were worked out togetherthe conception of the entire work took form gradually and influenced the details of the individual themes.” (Charles Rosen, “Sonata Forms”, pgs. – 177-178) If the larger structure and the smaller details are all spun from the same stuff, the work has a continuity that will breathe through it, no matter how spiky or thorny its character may be. The work unfolds and develops organically and thus corresponds to the natural world, in which the hugest objects are all governed by the same tiny particles.
