Program Notes
From the joyous opening statements, through the beautiful flowing and lyrical middle section to the blazing finale, Sun Dancing is a musical portrait of the simple but intensely beautiful sun-catcher. This exciting and bold composition has all of composer David Shaffer’s flare for fun and excitement. The large number of percussion parts will keep even the largest percussion section involved.
Sun Dancing was commissioned by and the Linwood Middle School Band, Linwood, New Jersey, Larry J. Lamkin, director, and is dedicated to the parents who encourage music in their children and to the past and present administration who have supported music education in their school.
