Program Notes
It's always a treat when this talented composer introduces a new concert march, bringing fresh ideas to the form in surprising ways. The opening is a force of nature that leads to a highly charged and punctuated main theme. Key and harmonic relationships creatively reshape and renew the core ideas, following a relentless path to the stirring conclusion. A bold march statement.
