From the composer: "Ricercari" (2013) are three pieces inspired by the keyboard music of the early and mid 17th century. During this time, the genre of the ricercare developed as a sort of instrumental motet and a kind of proto-fugue. Each work here is a contrapuntal ricercare in a modal cast, each in a different number of voices (#1: a3; #2: a2; #3: a4). However, all three blend elements of the 16th century style with more contemporary sounds.
