Program Notes
Marche Diabolique borrows elements of the traditional concert march and sets them within a contemporary framework to create a work that can actually function as a march or as a main concert piece. The work makes extensive use of the tritone. Surrounding the tritone is an expansive, dark harmonic language. Marked “menacing and deliberate,” the music comes across as direct and almost somewhat invasive. The opening rhythm in the clarinets becomes the foundation of the entire work and remains somewhat constant while material around it continuously evolves.
Marche Diabolique was commissioned by the North Carolina Bandmasters Association Eastern District for the 2014 All-District Middle School Symphonic Band.
