Of the piece, the composer writes (in a personal communication): It was composed as a set of variations of the entire Couperin piece, that is, not just the theme as is usually done. I played the piece on a Sinclavier and, using a sort of organ-type sound, generated with this instrument many variations by compressing, stretching, distorting, etc the whole recorded material.

To give you an idea the compressing processes for example reduced the original piece in different manners but in one case to just a few seconds in the form of chordal attacks. Later on selected variations were assembled into 15 continuous sections at time consisting of several variations superimposed, that is, set as materials in a polyphonic texture.

Ex- Police guitarman ' album Mysterious Barricades (1987) takes its name from its second track. The only possible audible relation the piece bears to the original is its incorporation of a kind of rhythmic ostinato in 4/4 time. Summers' piece, however, is slow and spacey, quite the opposite in mood to the Couperin. Interestingly, though, given the appeal of Couperin's piece to surrealists, Summers dedicates his album to Erik Satie.

On the basis of this composition, she developed a theatrical performance called Bilingual Barricades, performed a number of times.

Ochs relates that 'the first time I heard [Couperin's piece] was on the classical music station from Washington DC, either WGMS or WETA. It made my hair stand on end and I had to pull the car over until it was over' (personal communication).

In her program notes for the piece, she writes: What I really like about harpsichord is the fact that it is almost always about imagining other instruments' sounds. It tries to follow and depict the wind player's tonguing, cellist's bowing, and the singer's diction.

Thus there is a lot of room for imagination when you are performing harpsichord. Couperin's quirky and outrageous title, provided to us without any explanation, made me wonder what he was thinking when he composed this piece. Such contemplations are much more beautiful and interesting than cold, hard facts. I was captured by Couperin's harpsichord music for almost five years and I still didn't get bored. (I usually get bored pretty easily when I play the same composer's music over and over again.) So this piece reflects what I imagine Couperin might have thought when he wrote a piece called ' The Mysterious Barricades.'

I have brought in oboe (English horn), horn, violin, viola and cello to supplement the harpsichord because this is what I heard as I imagined this piece in my head. And of course I'm not going to explain to you how I came up with my version of ' The Mysterious Barricades.' That's the whole point: you have to listen to the music and imagine for yourself. (Although you can get some hints if you buy me a beer.) Couperin's harpsichord music is so beautiful because it is so open to interpretation. I hope you enjoy the piece.
