Program Notes
The title of this composition comes from the idea of having a very energetic composition with contrasting melodies. One can hear melodies, countermelodies, and rhythmic juxtapositions throughout this work. It is meant to be fun for both audience and musician. The contrast of dissonance to melodic and harmonic is the cornerstone of this composition.
