Program Notes
Comprising two main themes, this profound work strives to capture the essence of Americana. The first of the themes is stated first by a trumpet duet and later by the full ensemble. The second theme follows, robust and dynamic, accompanied by a driving, rhythmic pulse that provides an extra burst of activity. The arc of the piece then returns to the first theme, this time more transparent, subsiding to a gentle, quiet ending.
The piece was commissioned by the Covina (Calif.) Concert Band for their 60th anniversary.
