Program Notes
Synergy! is an energetic work for band composed during the first two months of 1997; it is dedicated to Captain Larry H. Lang and the USAF Heritage of America Band, Langley AFB, Virginia, in honor of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the United States Air Force. The band premiered the work in February, 1997.
The composition is cast in the form of a concerto for band showcasing the instruments and sections of the ensemble. As the title implies, Synergy! is a musical depiction of the coming together of many individuals for the cause of the entire group. In this way, this concerto for band is indeed a tribute to the United States Air Force.
