Program Notes

Written in memory of an extraordinary teacher, this piece depicts the way this teacher engaged his students. Beginning with the welcoming of students at the door, it gradually builds into the excitement and intensity of the class itself. Finishing with a good-bye until tomorrow, it presents a different and bright piece with a positive message.

- Program Note from publisher

Commissioned by Tyro Middle School, Sara Tolles and Christina, in memory of Tim Davis, beloved teacher, father and husband.
