Partita No 3 for Harpsichord - (2019) ![](images/01_Little_Green_Dot.gif)
The work is predicated on a classic, five octave instrument, F to f. The "buff" colors of the lute register across the range of the instrument and in dense chord voicing make for an interesting opening gambit for this partita.

A contrasting section using a single register sings its melody, decorated at in the lower octaves in a somewhat somber character.

A fugato in a fast tempo follows, again in the lower range of the instrument.

A lyrical adagio follows, triadic harmonies sustained as voices above and below have their conversation.

A final fugue with a somewhat lengthy subject concludes the work, bringing back elements from the earlier passages.
