Program Notes
This piece was conceived at the annual Missouri Music Educators Convention at a meeting of the Lambda Chapter of Phi Beta Mu, a professional organization for band directors. At this meeting, executives of the organization decided to commission a work for concert band as a public service project. This was agreed upon and Mr. Smith, who was also a member of this organization, was asked to compose the work. It was premiered at the Music Educators Convention in 1975.
- Program Note by Robinson High School (Texas) Symphonic Band
Opening with a legato tempo featuring colors of the band, the piece develops with a short statement by horn and flute, which precede the rhythmic section. The use of the 7/8 bar is especially effective with the full ensemble treatment.
