Program Notes

As the World Watched is a programmatic work based on the composer’s view of some of the violent events that have happened around the world, both past and present. The abuse that mankind has perpetrated upon each other, man’s inhumanity to man, and the taking of human life -- for no reason at all -- are the major points of the piece.

The work is divided into three sections: shock and disbelief, anger, and depression. Each section paints the deep emotions that such troubling events bring forth.

Commissioned by the Tenth District Band Directors of the Georgia Music Education Association.
