Composer's note:
I love to listen to stories. If the storyteller is good, it doesn't really matter what the story is; it could be an emotionally neutral personal anecdote. Yet, something about the storyteller's inflection, tone, rhythm, techniques for changing venue, techniques for quoting characters, accents, dialects, etc. - the music of the telling - makes it an experience.
I also love to listen to Thelonius Monk - what a storyteller he is! Any piece
