Program Notes

Commissioned by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania High School Honors Band, Jack Stamp, conductor, in memory of Matthew Hornick.

- Program Note from score

Written as a memorial piece, this is unlike most. Highly energetic and vibrant, this work displays vivid contrasts between winds and percussion as it drives relentlessly from start to finish.
