Program Notes

Private Eye Prowl (2013) was commissioned by the Indiana Bandmasters Association for the 2014 Indiana Junior All-State Band, Dr. Jeffrey Scott Doebler conducting. It is designed to be a fun piece for the musicians and audience alike. The music is reminiscent of the radio and TV detective genre. As a teaching piece, the piece employs syncopated patterns common in big band charts, but is carefully constructed to re-cycle those syncopations in repeating snippets/phrases so that students only need learn a few patterns to successfully perform the music.
