Program Notes
The Wrangler was written for the James Logan High School Wind Ensemble in 2006, and is reminiscent of film scores of old Westerns. While sharing a syntax with Aaron Copland's ballets Billy the Kid and Rodeo, it manages to remain completely original in melody. "The hero is a good man, a free man -- very confident and very competent with his stallion and lasso," says the composer, and The Wrangler describes our hero galloping across the breathtaking landscape, encountering a drunken dance at a saloon, avoiding a fight, and more, all packed within an eight-minute envelope.
This work was premiered in Carnegie Hall in May of 2006.
