							Description:
						
						
						While my piece hasn’t got much in common with Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin, the title reflects a similar idea of looking back on the Baroque, and paying homage to it.
The piece is in two movements, both of which play with the idea of the Baroque idiom, or being part of an imaginary Baroque suite. The first is delicate and dancing. As the second progresses, a Baroque tune gradually takes shape out of a twelve-tone row. Once the Baroque tune is complete, it dissolves again and disappears back into chromaticism.
