Description:
The Author’s Suite is a collection of three pieces that each celebrate a favorite author of mine: L. M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables), Jane Austen (Pride & Prejudice), and Mary Shelley (Frankenstein). Each movement imagines a romanticized picture of a particular aspect of each author’s writing. The first movement, Kindred Spirits, imagines a young Maud Montgomery galavanting around Prince Edward Island with her imaginary friend, Anne Shirley. Movement 2, My Dearest Jane, depicts Jane Austen alone at her pianoforte, perhaps with a broken heart. Finally, the third movement, Mary Shelley Meets Frankenstein, envisions what might happen if the author came face to face with her own monstrous creation.
