listen.about.
“Variations on a Penguin” consists of five distinct sections: A theme followed by three variations and a brief reprise. Like many of my other works, the piece is programmatic in nature. However, I have opted against providing any sort of written narrative; Even the title, humorous as it may be, is derived from the tone of the piece, rather than any story. The audience should be given the opportunity to create their own narrative.
