Program note.
When I told Gil Rose that I had written symphonies for the cities of Paris and Rome, he said "Why dont you do London as your next symphony?" I told him, "But Ive never been to London." He said, "Well, now you have an excuse to go there."

That never happened; going to London, that is. But I was very intrigued about writing a "London" symphony. So, I decided to go ahead, and instead of London as a travelogue symphony, something I did for Paris and Rome, I came up with an alternative idea. Why not compose a London Symphony in homage to three of my favorite English composers: Benjamin Britten, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Edward Elgar?

Symphony No. 9 My Imaginary London is in three movements with multiple sections within each.

1. Prelude: Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) Moderato Scherzo I Trio I Reprise I Allegretto
2. Interlude: Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) Lento Scherzo II Trio II: Adagio Reprise II Allegro con fuoco
3. Postlude: Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Largo

This work is dedicated to my wife and muse, Kristin Beckwith.
