Program Notes
This work was commissioned for the 2011 California Tour of the Shakopee High School Bands, Eric Christenson, director. Dig Down Deep provides music that reflects on the will to persevere when we would perhaps rather not. The work begins solemnly, with a strong melodic line interrupted by punctuating resistance. Eventually, the urge to drive forward is found and the work propels itself with enthusiasm.
