Program Notes

Zig Zag is an exciting composition that was commissioned by the Lakota Plains Junior School in Liberty Township, Ohio, under the direction of Phillip Chumley. Mr. Chumley reached out to me to write a piece for his group, and the ensuing collaboration was extremely enjoyable and rewarding. Zig Zag was one fo the title suggestions from the students and caught my eye from the very start.

The music portrays the exercise of zigging and zagging throughout.
