Program Notes

Colours, textures, impressions. Rhythms that float, rhythms that drive, themes that are lyrical. If you are looking for something different, you've found it.

Written for the Chippewa Secondary School Concert Band (North Bay, Canada), this work provides much opportunity to work on shading and expressive playing as colours and images float by.

- Program Note from publisher


A slow introduction with muted trumpets, wind chimes and percussion rolls convey a shimmering effect before introducing a faster, exotic-sounding main section with floating, syncopated rhythms. A slow, mysterious passage with flowing eighth-note lines and lush harmonies leads to a suddenly bright section with driving percussion rhythms that move the piece to a dramatic conclusion.

- Program Note from The Instrumentalist


Commissioned by the 2017 Chippewa Secondary School Band (North Bay, Canada), Marla Sunstrum, Director.
