Program Notes
Imagine, If You Will... has no specific story to tell. The title functions to invite the listener to either supply the characters, the setting and the drama, or simply to let the music stand on its own. Rich sonorities and virtuosic solos provide the perfect soundtrack to let your imagination wander.
