Program Notes
Bloom (2004) was commissioned by the Northwest North Carolina Bandmasters Association for the All-District Middle School Symphonic Band. The composer offers the following about the work: "It is a celebration of springtime. The bright, sunny days, with nature in bloom all around, give me a powerful sense of well-being, simultaneously tranquil and exuberant. Bloom is my attempt to recreate that feeling."
- Program Note from University of North Texas Concert Band concert program, 5 October 2016
