Program Notes
Shortcut Home is a rousing rather elaborate fanfare that features each section of the ensemble. Drawing upon various jazz styles, the music proclaims and cascades, always driving towards the "home" of the final, C Major chord.
Shortcut Home was commissioned by the Hillsborough (New Jersey) High School Band, Mindy Scheierman, director.
