The composer's program notes from the original innova recording:
The Fifth Sonata is based on the beautiful, bittersweet Appalachian folk hymn "What Wondrous Love is This". One afternoon an a capella harmony was coming from the radio different from anything I had ever heard. The shape-note singing was rich and wild. The pentatonic feel of the Dorian melody and the stark open fifths gave the hymn a haunting quality right out of rural America.
"Majestic but with motion and great force", the opening Choral_Fantasy sings the rendition of the untrained believers. The music is all over the piano with thick, ringing chords, vast arpeggios and sweeping scales---twice interrupted by a raw and joyous ostinato. The six note mode (d-eb-f-g#-a-b) is akin to the hymn harmony.
After a cadential d minor chord, a section marked Allegro con brio (fast, with life) and later the Allegro barbaro (a barbaric yawp) deconstructs the rhythm and melodic contour of the hymn. Rhythms are lengthened and shortened both regularly (either by the addition of a dot or by doubling of the note value) and irregularly (by the addition of irregular polyrhythmic values). Phrases, which can be read the same backwards and forward, are embedded in larger phrases that are palindromes as well. Two, three, four-note chords are permuted in all possible ways.
A Refrain of 13 heavy chords twice intersects at the golden section this rustic dance of believers.
A Moderato paints three portraits of "when I was sinking down" 1)the hymn is sung very slowly in a steady beat throughout (midrange) 2)three voice start high, sink lower and slower by degrees (16 notes to a beat; then 15 notes to a beat; then 14; then 13; all the way to 2---then start over again) 3)a chaconne in the bass based on the famous Dido's Lament by Purcell (she sings about being laid in the grave because of sorrowful love). All three portraits are played simultaneously in triple counterpoint. A flourish from the very top of the piano to the very bottom ends the section. Finally, there's a series of descending-chord phrases (again "sinking down") that, by way of metronomic modulation, slow to a full stop.
