Commissioned by Sam Falcetti for the Springfield Accordion Orchestra in 1983, Kynaston has been performed by virtuoso accordion ensembles in concerts and competitions around the world. Inspired by the Errol Flynn-like theatre career of Edward (Ned) Kynaston, the English Restoration leading man who triumphed in swashbuckling costume heroic dramas and romantic comedies, Kynaston traces the actor's changing moods in a series of variations based on Henry Purcell's Music for a While, originally composed as incidental music for the 1682 revival of Oedipus. Beginning with a simple statement of Purcell's theme, Kynaston follows with a buoyant España; a lilting Valse, a devilish Scherzo, a lofty Fuga, a tender Ballade, and a spirited Moto Perpetuo, before returning to a grand recapitulation of Purcell's theme.
