From the recording Solitaire
I commissioned Solitaire from Carol Worthey as a 50th birthday present to myself, and she delivered a work that is microcosm of the emotions spanned by a life, as well as a tour of musical styles, including a waltz, a tango, a Gregorian Chant, a hebraic melody, a Romantic Lullabye, and a jaunty jazz tune, all derived from the poignant opening theme.
