Program Notes

For a Civic [Orchestra of Chicago] concert on Jan. 21 [2014], you've arranged a collection of major orchestra excerpts called Rite of Passage for winds, brass and percussion. What was that process like?

From a purely musical and orchestration point of view, creating Rite of Passage was challenging in terms of crafting transitions between various excerpts, and perhaps more importantly, what to do with the string parts so that the arrangement would take on a fresh character and personality, but still retain the spirit and integrity of the original work. I got great enjoyment from problem solving these challenges, like deconstructing a large puzzle and hen reconstructing it into something else.
