Program Notes

In three movements (each tending more towards light rather than ponderous), Plymouth Trilogy is an immensely accessible work. From a 6/8 march-feel opening, to a reflective middle movement that ends as a pianissimo chorale, to a lively ending rag, the arrangement allows players to shine in small groupings and the surrounding ensemble passages sparkle with life and energy.

- Program Note from publisher

Plymouth Trilogy was commissioned by the Michigan Council of the Arts and the Plymouth Arts Council in 1982 for an honors band comprised of students from the Plymouth-Canton schools.
