Program Notes

The Arrival Suite uses ambitious themes and uncertain harmony to depict the expectation of mysterious revelation found within the discovery of the unknown. “Fantasy” features a grand motive that connects adventure with exploration. “Nocturne” employs unstable harmony to express the limitations and variability of a discovery. Finally, “Dance and Presto” juggles the ideals of collaboration and conflict.
