FUGAL METAMORPHOSIS (on a theme by William Byrd)


This fantasia starts off as if it were a fugue or piece of loose counterpoint from the 16th century, then grows and passes through stylistic generations into the 20th and 22st century. The starting theme is derived from a theme from William Byrd’s “Fantasia in C”.
