Program Notes

This work for advanced band was commissioned by the Tennessee Valley Winds to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the group's founding. I had the opportunity to conduct the premiere on the concert commending the anniversary at Middle Tennessee University and it was a wonderful experience! Such a talented and dedicated group of individuals! Many thanks to the members of the ensemble and to their wonderful director, Erich Zimmerman.

Valley Montage and Celebration is dedicated to all past, present, and future members of the Tennessee Valley Winds.

- Program Note from composer


This work for advanced band begins calmly with a clarinet solo, but quickly moves to a celebratory section in 12/8 meter. The main melody is stated in many different voices as it steadily builds to a moment of controlled frenzy. A brief lyrical section features an expressive style and also a moment of glory for the entire woodwind choir. The work concludes with a return to the vibrant and enthusiastic flavor of the opening.
