Adelante!
Adelante! is dedicated to
Ida Steadman and the
orchestra students of El
Paso, Texas. The
composition was premiered
by the Coronado High
School Orchestra at New
Mexico State University,
Las Cruces, New Mexico on
February 21, 1993. It was
commissioned by Ms.
Steadman to commemorate
the quincentennial
celebration of
Christopher Columbus'
first voyage to the New
World. While the composer
sought inspiration from
this famed event, he felt
that it would be better
that the piece not be
directed at this once in
a century celebration,
only to be overlooked at
year's end. Thus, while
the work recalls the
explorations of Columbus,
it concurrently pays
tribute to all those who
have dedicated their
lives to exploration and
discovery throughout
history.
