Program Notes

The impetus for Fanfare for Justice evolved from the repeated senseless deaths of Black people. As videos of these became increasing visible to the public, and as rage continued to build, we all witnessed the nine-minute death of George Floyd. And the deaths of so many others. The piece was originally commissioned as a solo for Low Horn performer Mark Olson.

As artists, we are often compelled to do more than join marches on the streets, or to put a sign in the front yard. Silence is complicity.

Music is my voice. Most of the piece is created from the syllabic and/or timbral elements of the words and names shouted during the protest marches. Injustice for one is injustice for all.
