The imagery of a lush, green meadow helps set the stage for Verdant Meadows. This simple, yet harmonically adventurous composition alternates between legato melodies and staccato harmonies. Following a climactic moment, a peaceful resolution hearkens back to earlier material and ends the piece with a Maestoso section.

Characteri zed with sweeping melodies driving dynamic rhythms interrupted with peaceful serene passages built upon charismatic melodies---this musical tribute will not soon be forgotten. Dedicated to Gene Wilder and commissioned by Georgia Band Directors Association, this revered mentor will be remembered for eternity. The catalyst for the predominant part of the material are the notes G, E, and N (either an upper or lower neighboring note), and E---combined with the melody from Mr. Wilders' favorite hymn. One listen and you'll be hooked. High energy paired with deep emotion is the recipe for this wonderful work. (7:00).

Cica da larvae live underground for years, creeping about slowly and peacefully in the darkness until that sudden, beautiful brief moment when, one warm, damp summer’s eve, they emerge, metamorphosed into a highly mobile life form. Gaily they dance in the sunshine, singing ardently to the trees in all their greenery --- but only for a short while, for, just as suddenly, they are gone. The same process repeats year upon year. The life cycle of this string quartet resembles that of the cicada. Initially, two embryonic cells remain hidden within dense, gloomy note-clusters; over time they evolve into buds, grow and then blossom. They appear for the first time in their adult form in the fast middle section, where they assume the shape of two very popular Chinese folk melodies, Jasmine and Old Six Blows, albeit in wholly chromaticized and defamiliarized variants. After their grand efflorescence, these forms gradually dissolve into transparent wisps of sound.
