Program Notes: Like a Giant
Refreshed: written for
Dr. Megan Arns, Dr. Julia Gaines, and the University of Missouri Percussion
Ensemble and was premiered at the Missouri Music Educators Convention January
27th, 2017.
The piece
loosely depicts the approaching footsteps of a waking giant and his or her
eventual exit into a fog. Some of the phrases/ideas appeared in earlier
unpublished works/indoor drumline shows, but finally came together as complete
idea here.
