Program Notes
This piece follows the continuing adventures of the Spaceship Hawkeye through a rough planet only known as Planet 411. The piece starts in a mysterious forest area of the planet, with many solos echoing the various foreign wildlife and uncertainty following the crew. Constant motion from the woodwinds further pushes uncertainty, almost as if they are being watched. The crew is then suddenly attacked, pushing the music to a furious pace. The crew succeeds in eluding their attackers, only to find itself in a deeper portion of the forest with dangers around every turn. The band is now in 5/8 with a bass line that echoes the dangers around every turn. The crew finally finds their way into a clearing where they are able to summon the Hawkeye to their aid and escape.
