Program Notes
Commissioned by Will Gillespie (saxophonist) and Mike Waddell (euphoniumist), this work is inspired by painting and photographs of Chicago in the 1930s. The first movement is a musical portrait of the city skyline as it is built higher and higher with each additional skyscraper, the music of the bustling streets during daytime. The second movement, Nocturne, is all about the gritty night-life, hot jazz and gangsters. The concluding movement is inspired by the painting “Steel Mills at Night” by Richard A. Chase and shows the industrial side of this Midwestern metropolis. All the material is revisited in the finale.
