Program Notes

Declaration and Dance was written for the Peak Music Festival of Texas, a nonprofit organization committed to excellence in music education by providing performance opportunities of the highest quality for wind bands and string ensembles. This intrepid composition strives to capture the passionate spirit of music making and celebrates the many individuals who regularly and generously give their time and talents to making the festival so successful.

The work opens with an exuberant fanfare before a brisk allegro dance section ensues, showcasing the energy and technical facility of all sections. The music then moves into an expressive slow section, revealing rich harmonies and tone colors before reassuming the original allegro tempo and driving to a rousing finale.
