Sinopsis

Commissioned by 'Sam' Falcetti for the Springfield Accordion Orchestra in 1983, Kynaston has been performed by virtuoso accordion ensembles in concerts and competitions around the world. Inspired by the Errol Flynn-like theatre career of Edward ('Ned') Kynaston, the English Restoration leading man who triumphed in swashbuckling costume heroic dramas and romantic comedies, Kynaston traces the actorâÇÖs changing moods in a series of variations based on Henry PurcellâÇÖs 'Music for a While,' originally composed as incidental music for the 1682 revival of Oedipus. Beginning with a simple statement of PurcellâÇÖs theme, Kynaston follows with a buoyant 'España, a lilting 'Valse,' a devilish 'Scherzo,' a lofty 'Fuga,' a tender 'Ballade,' and a spirited 'Moto Perpetuo,' before returning to a grand recapitulation of PurcellâÇÖs theme. John Franceschina, composer, has created scores for the National Shakespeare Company and the Provincetown Playhouse in New York City, the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami, BaltimoreâÇÖs Center Stage, WashingtonâÇÖs FordâÇÖs Theatre and the Arena Stage, the Pittsburgh Public Theatre, Cleveland Playhouse, Florida Studio Theatre, Geva Theatre, Syracuse Stage, Papermill Playhouse, Music Theatre Works, and the Moscow Art Theatre, in addition to the Asolo State Theatre in Sarasota, Florida, where he acted as composer-in-residence from 1976 to 1993. HisáFanfare for the Fiftietháwas commissioned by Philippe Entremont for the fiftieth anniversary of the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra in 1985, his secular oratorio,áHoutebeen, for male chorus, string orchestra and accordion ensemble, toured the Netherlands in 2014, and his opera,áScenes from the Jungleátoured the Netherlands in 2019.
