Program Notes
In Wind Says Good Night,a work I composed for narrator, soloists and orchestra for the Minnesota Orchestra, a lullaby ties the piece together; serving as introduction, occasional transition and conclusion. A while back I extracted and arranged a version of the lullaby for solo guitar and now have written a new and extended version for wind ensemble called Nocturne. The form of the lullaby is AABA. Nocturne presents an introduction, exposition, development and recapitulation.
