Program Notes

Commissioned by The United States Air Force Band, the overture Into The Air! was completed in September 1998. As I began working on this composition, I found myself often thinking about the unselfish courage exhibited by the members of the United States Air Force, as well as the absolute thrill it is to be able to fly. Hopefully this music embodies these noble qualities of character and experience.

Into The Air! received its world premiere in July 1999.
