Program Notes

This musical celebration seeks to embody the very magic that is music—the ability to transcend all languages and communicate any emotion. Dramatic fanfares contrast with lyrical passages and eventually combine as the piece moves toward a thrilling conclusion.

Majestica was commissioned by the Canterbury Woods Elementary School (Annandale, Virginia) for its 40th anniversary, Tiffany Hudson and Teresa Amoroso, directors.
