Program Notes
Downtown Strut is an electro-acoustic work for beginning band that captures the energy and excitement of the city. Living in Atlanta, I always find it electrifying to listen to the symphony of subway trains, garbage trucks, bumper-to-bumper traffic, and crowds of people in the streets. Through the electronics, the musicians merge their sounds with an infectious groove.
