Program Notes
Why Me Disagrees? My intention was to write a piece that would depict an argument that is not overly aggressive. Instead, it is to be playfully competitive, even somewhat humorous at times. "I disagree" is a strong statement, which wouldn't reflect the lighthearted spirit of the original idea. So I decided to make it sound like something a naughty child might say to defy authority: "Me disagrees! End of story."
