In 2003, the Signature Theatre in NYC presented a series of three productions by Bill Irwin; I wrote the music for two of them. The Harlequin Studies was the first. I called on two fine musicians to join me: David Gold on violin and viola, and Sean McMorris on drums. The score included short cues and flourishes for the first part, a series of brief vignettes; a more extended score for the second part, a longer play featuring Bill as Harlequin; and a noisy overture in between.
