Running is an exciting,
high velocity
tour-de-force that will
keep both musicians and
the audience on the edge
of their seats.
Inspiration for the work
came from the
pointillistic paintings
of Seurat (who created
images by using tiny
spots of primary colors
on his canvas) and from
Parkour, a form of urban
acrobatics in which
participants, known as
free runners, use the
structures of the rural
landscape to perform
catlike leaps and
sprints. The resulting
creation is a non-stop
piece of music made up of
only staccato notes in a
constant rhythm moving
through different
sections of the ensemble.
Free Running was
commissioned by the Troy
University Symphony Band
for the 2011 Alabama
Music Educators
Association Convention.
Ideal for concert or
festival use, it is
guaranteed to leave the
audience breathless! Dur:
5:10.
