Program Notes
La Moto (the motorcycle), is my take on the busy streets of the Dominican Republic, heavily overtaken by the fast-moving and dangerous motorcycles. The fast-moving melodic lines represent different vehicles, zooming through traffic, honking their horns, and living life on the edge.
- Program Note by composer
Performance Notes
All four parts are divided at times, creating horn-like sounds (traffic). Ideally, parts 1,2, and 4 have at least 2 players, and part 3 has at least 3 players. Otherwise, players may choose their line.
If the suggested instrumentation will not work for your situation, feel free to be creative. Fully adaptable parts have been included.
