Program Notes

Hey! was commissioned by the Anoka High School Concert Band, John Lace, conductor, for its 2001 tour of Norway. Lace asked for a work that would be an effective way to open their program, and I immediately thought of a long-running shared experience that he and I have enjoyed. John and I are old college friends and for years we have greeted each other or sent messages through students to each other that always begin with "Hey, Mahr" or "Hey, Lace". This work is a piece that says "Hey!" to the audience -- it demands attention.
