Program Notes

This exciting composition intends to "fascinate, enervate and captivate" – drawing listeners to the very end and then … KABOOM!"

- Program Note from The Instrumentalist


Two notes, then two more and the fuse is lit! A counterstatement follows, and then another. Ideas develop and unravel - percussion punctuates, brass recapitulates, woodwinds decorate... as the fuse burns. The music grows as it progresses, fascinating and captivating, drawing the listener in to the decisive and explosive finale!

- Program Note from publisher


Commissioned by the Orillia Secondary School Music Department (Orillia, Canada) in celebration of the opening of their new school in 2016. Laura Lee Matthie & Robin Watson, directors.
