Program Notes

Sinfonia XIX: Preludes and Grounds was commissioned by the Berwick Middle School 7th-8th Grade Band, Brian Fish, director, and was composed during December 1998 and January 1999.

Each of the four movements follows an identical structural plan: a brief prelude, based on a 12-note series, is followed by a diatonic ground bass (a repeating harmonic/melodic pattern). There should be a short pause between movements to allow just enough time for the percussionists to get to their new positions.
