Program Notes
Dancing in Rain was commissioned for the Belle Vernon Area High School Symphonic Band, Pennsylvania, Mark Surovchak, conductor, in 2009 and serves as a follow-up to Dancing in Air, which was written for the University of North Texas Concert Band.
Minimalist compositional techniques are cast across the full wind band palette, presenting layers of sparse rhythm and sound. Over this, simple melodic ideas are extended over spans of time. The listener may choose to observe the work’s title to give meaning to the sound. Alternatively, he or she may simply allow the sound to wash over the ear and let the experience wash over the imagination.
