PROGRAM NOTES

MABINOGIAN “Borrowing from early 13th-century Welsh music I constructed a pitch collection from which the material from Mabinogian materialized.

The Mabinogion was a collection of eleven tales from the Welsh myths. The tales of the Mabinogion were preserved in two manuscripts, White Book of Rhydderch (ca. 1325) and the Red Book of Hergest (ca. 1940). Though the Rydderch manuscript was the earlier of the two, the tales of Lludd, Culwch and Owein survived only in fragments, while the Dream of Rhonabwy was completely lost. Only the Hergal manuscript contained all eleven tales.

The music was inspired by reading these timeless myths of the Mabinogion.”

—Christopher Caliendo
