Program Notes
Cascading dissonance, mixed meter, tons of syncopation, and an aggressive style characterize this programmatic piece. This challenging work is percussion intensive.
- Program Note from publisher
Saiai No Sensei means "beloved teacher," and this piece is dedicated to Dr. Terry Austin, for the impact he has had on my career and on the Skyhawk Band program. He is truly beloved to me. I will always cherish his guidance, friendship, and faith in me.
