Program Notes

Commissioned to honor a beloved teacher who had passed away, this eloquent piece both begins and ends with warm and moving chorale sections. The contrasting allegro con brio theme is full of energy and vitality. While this piece is not very difficult, it features close contemporary harmonies and it provides ample opportunities for expressive playing especially in the woodwinds.

From Heartland to Heaven was commissioned by the Holden, Missouri Band Program, directed by Keelie Stucker, in loving memory of 8th Grade Teacher, Nancy Lea Montgomery.
