"Hommage" came about as a result of a request by my good friends (and former students at Mills College) Barbara Rowan and Constance Sablinsky. They wanted a work to help celebrate the centenerary of famed composer Darius Milhaud's birth.

In the 2nd movement ("Forest Murmers") one can hear frog ribbets and bird peeps which I think would have pleased Milhaud's ever-young spirit. (He was my colleague and mentor during my first stint of teaching, at Mills College.
