Program Notes
The work is written in three sections, the first having a fast agitated tempo, the second section much slower and more lyrical and about half as fast as the first. The final section is written in a rhythmically active but quasi-majestic style. The piece concluded with a short return to the opening section.
Commissioned by the Sycamore High School Symphonic Band, Sycamore, Illinois, Chris Nicholas, Director.
