I would be interested in being involved in a Conference and Festschrift devoted to JL Monod. I owe him so much in my musical training. I doubt very much that Juilliard could be involved, but I will inquire. All best, PL Hi Thomas,

Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind words about my 12 Variations on a Bach Chorale. The work was written as an homage to the greatness of Bach's musical universe, to its adaptability and longevity of emotion. I tried to grow in my own musical soil a few the powerful materials Bach engenders in his harmonization of the chorale. Like a tree from a seed. I am deeply touched that the work speaks to you so strongly. Dear Paul,

They're beautiful, interesting, complex, never harsh. The emotional depth reminds me of Brahms and Ravel but overlaid on Bach's serenity. I'm amazed that a living composer is doing this sort of thing. Bravo! Thanks so much for writing the 12 Variations. They’re beautiful, interesting, complex, never harsh.
