Program Notes
From the Blue Fog was written for the Central Connecticut State University Chamber Players conducted by Dr. Daniel D’Addio during the summer of 2009. The work was inspired by experiences I had that July while attending a music festival in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I noticed while hiking slightly higher up the mountain than the main area of activity for the festival that I could hear snatches of the rehearsals going on below. The idea of these musical fragments emerging from the sounds of the forest became the foundation for this piece.
