Program Notes

This engaging work was commissioned by a couple to honor their love of music education, present and past students, colleagues, friends, and each other. A reflective opening section begins with a solo trumpet playing a lyrical melody over sustained low brass chords. The woodwinds then enter, featuring a solo alto saxophone. The intensity builds during a full-ensemble section that includes bold melodic material, powerful chords, and energetic sixteenth-note passages in the high woodwinds. The pace suddenly quickens during a spirited percussion break that serves as an introduction to an exciting multi-meter section that includes an effective variety of rhythms, textures, and dynamics. An aggressive final passage brings the work to a dramatic and powerful conclusion.
