Like many composers of my generation I grew up playing and listening to Jazz, Rock, and Pop alongside Bach, Mozart, and Stravinsky. Unlike many of my generation I have shied away from incorporating "pop" elements into my "serious" chamber music compositions. The impetus for Scherzo & Fantasia was practical: I wanted to write a piece I could play myself and I play the electric bass. I approached this piece as a work of contemporary chamber music and so used the same musical language I've been exploring in my other works for more traditional chamber music instruments. Still, something of the electric bass's native language(s) may have found its way into the piece..
