Program Notes

While driving home along Highway 15-501 in Durham, North Carolina, Lam was inspired by the differences between the sunsets of North Carolina and the ones in Boston where he grew up. Durham, despite being the largest city in the state, had few large buildings, offering an unobstructed view of the sky and the sunset. The colors of the setting sun are bright, herds of clouds make their way across the horizon, and the city's steady turn towards evening has always commanded this commuter's attention. The piece itself is a musical reflection of these ideas.

- Program Note from publisher


Loud Sunsets was written in 2007 for the Boston University Concert Band, Chris Parks, director, commissioned by the Theta Beta Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi. The work was premiered by the Duke University Wind Symphony with conductor Emily Threinen. I’d like to especially thank the brothers of Theta Beta for making this project possible.
