Program Notes
Commissioned by and dedicated to the Hilliard Memorial Middle School Bands their director, Mr. John Montgomery, Bayside Reflections was inspired by the majesty and beauty of the many bays and lakes in northern Michigan. The piece has a strong and jubilant opening, symbolizing not only the many beautiful colors that are visible in these waters, but also the magnificent vessels that navigate them.
Much like the gradients of the water's color, this piece3 transitions into a beautiful slower section, where a beckoning nautical melody is first heard by a solitary trumpet player. Bodies of water often have a melancholic mood of their own, and this section offers a time of reflection and appreciation for the rarely equaled natural splendor presented by these waters.
The work then returns to the opening statement before arriving at a strong and confident finish, meant to remind the listener of the powerful and awe-inspiring beauty these waters have to offer.
