Program Notes
Symphony No. 4 follows a traditional form. However, the entire work is based on the octatonic scale, an alternation of half-steps and whole-steps. By using this scale, the Symphony includes both great dissonance as well as great consonance in sounds and colors, and creates a unique work for band.
