Misc. Comments

A hymn…originally meant a form of “woven” or “spun” speech. Although the etymology is not Greek but Asiatic, the word derives from a Greek word for weaving, hyphainein.

—from The Homeric Hymns by Charles Boer. Composer’s note to the score

The idea of weaving reflects Fine's tendency to self-borrow. The first movement is from Poetic Fires and the second incorporates patterning and sketches from Drama's Jealousy. Fine stated that since compositions were often heard only once, she had no objections to rewriting for different instrumentation.
