Program Notes

Even though the ranges and rhythms are quite modest in this beautiful lyric piece for young bands, there is a wealth of musicality to be learned and enjoyed. Delicate and sensitive in the beginning, there is a logical ebb and flow to the music as it builds to a full ensemble climax then back to the quieter texture and harmonic shift at the end.
