Program Notes

Inspired by Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, this work in two movements for wind band is an exploration of human connection and the truth that there are always strings attached. It is no simple love story, but a story of friendship, hope, desire, passion, sadness, pain, and a love that endures.
