Program Notes
Three Stars of Tennessee was inspired by the three distinct cultural, political and geographical regions of Tennessee often referred to as the "Three states of Tennessee", as represented by the three stars on the Tennessee state flag. The Tennessee River nearly slices the state into three sections, and history has shown the peoples of these regions to be as different as their geography.
East Tennessee is proud of their "mountain folk," who live around the Great Smokey Mountains, a region of the Appalachian Mountain Range. As a salute them, the first movement is an original Irish jig.
The second movement depicts the "plains people" of middle Tennessee. This great agricultural land is represented in Plantation Sunrise.
The third movement attempts to reflect life on the Mississippi River in West Tennessee. The minstrel theme and percussion effects depict the paddling of the river boat as it contributed to the vigorous business and social life of the mighty Mississippi.
Commissioned by the Maryville City Schools Foundation for the Maryville Intermediate School 6th Grade Wind Ensemble and premiered at the 2007 Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinic.
