Program Notes
This work is full of energy from beginning to end with a driving tempo and rhythmic ideas. Imagine yourself running through a forest under a moonlit sky, chasing shooting stars as they travel through the earth’s atmosphere. The chase is one of joy and excitement: running between the trees, jumping over logs and branches while trying to keep up with the stars. Although we may never be able to keep up or catch them, the Night Chase is always worth it.
