To keep to the idea of miniatures I will keep these program notes at a small scale as well. Simply put, Isolated Houses is inspired by images of tiny little homes alone in vast landscapes taken over by nature. There was something beautiful and tranquil but also slightly unsettling about these small cottages and I set out to portray them accordingly. Each movement utilizes certain sounds that attempt to evoke these images, and although much of it is calm throughout, there is always an underlying strain in the music.
