Program Notes

The title, Divergents, is borrowed with permission from a piece with the same name written by my teacher Dr. W. Francis McBeth.

Divergents seemed an appropriate title to represent the three contrasting movements, and the contacting styles of the several teachers that I had studied with, from Philip Westin (student of Ingolf Dahl and Roy Harris) to Dr. McBeth (student of Clifton Williams, Howard Hanson, Bernard Rogers) and Dr. Byong Kon Kim (student of Bernhard Heiden).

There are three movements:

1. March (title borrowed from Holst and Vaughan Williams)
2. Nachtmusik (title borrowed from Mahler and Bartok)
3. Toccata (title borrowed from Bach and Keith Emerson)
