Program Notes
The Philharmonic Fanfare was commissioned by Adam Stern and the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra for their 75th anniversary season. The piece, scored for an orchestral brass section, employs quartal harmony, snappy fanfare rhythms and flowing melodies styled after the great film score composer, John Williams. The opening seven-note motif is a rhythmic representation of the spelling of the word "Seattle," and this motif weaves in and out of the contrasting melodies throughout the duration of the fanfare."
