Program Notes
Full Circle spins the iconic "circle of fifths" chord progression into a brazen, reverberant sound world, where both keys and instrumental colors are sequentially cycled through. I've always loved what musical sequences like the circle of fifths symbolize -- while we might travel far, comport can be found by circling back to where we began.
