Program Notes

Celebrate/Celebration was commissioned by the Foxboro High School in Foxboro, Massachusetts (Steven C. Massey, director) as part of a district-wide project exploring artistic creativity.

The entire work, including form, melody, dynamics and rhythm, is based on the letters and alliterative rhythm of the words "celebrate/celebration". Instruments not normally associated with bands (kazoos, party noisemakers) are added to highlight the ‘celebratory’ character of the piece. The brass and woodwinds are instructed to leave the stage and surround the audience while playing the final segment, adding a ‘theatre piece’ element to the conclusion.
