It was dedicated to Jamaica Kincaid (to whom I was married from 1979-until 2001). It is a single movement piece lasting fourteen minutes, in three distinct sections (slow-fast-slow) that could be viewed as three aspects of a love relationship, three romances, one romance interrupted by another--or, if one prefers, simply as a piece of music. The three part form is not a traditional \"ABA\" structure, but is a progression. The music of the first section is like a long rhapsodic Aria, full of youthful longing and ardor. in the middle section one might hear adventure, dialogue, and quarrels. The music of the final pages is not a return to the beginning, but has a more intimate, searching, resigned and mature character.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance (ACA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43756134236239,"sku":"ACA-SHWN-029","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/b8c50baacbf6b7bb26cd95be14698675.webp?v=1780257360","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/shawn-romances-aca","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
