Program Notes
The brief, quietly stated spoken text which begins the work sets the mood for this sensitively introspective piece. Commissioned by the Clarion State College Band, Stanley F, Michalski, director, it was first performed by them March 11, 1981 at Clarion State College, Clarion, Pennsylvania.
