Program Notes

Written in ABA form, students will love the energy and audiences will be drawn to the unique harmonic quality of this well-crafted work. Opening with rhythmic harmonies in the brass, the piece takes flight, soaring majestically in grand fashion. The feeling of freedom that accompanies dreams of soaring through clear blue skies is evident throughout, radiating a spirit of exuberance that will echo throughout the concert hall.

The work is named after a type of North American swallow.
