Program
Notes This composition
for wind ensemble is
partially inspired by my
home town of Sebastian,
specifically its location
on the east coast of the
state of Florida. My
childhood included many
quick trips to both the
nearby Indian River and
the beaches on the coast,
so swimming and the water
were integral parts of my
experience growing up.
This work is my musical
expression of diving
underwater and getting
swept up by a fast
current and discovering
wonders beneath the
surface. Dive! has two
central components: a
constant, driving
eighth-note pulse and a
main theme which is
fragmented and passed
around at first, but then
is presented completely
by the low reeds around a
minute and a half into
the piece. The steady
eighth-note pulse
reflects the swift
current that a diver
might follow, while the
main theme represents all
the wonders that might be
hidden under the water.
Performance Notes
Ideally, the Trombone 3
part should be played on
a Bass Trombone. However,
if one is not available
there are cues for notes
that are beneath a tenor
trombone's range. Make
sure the vibraphone is
heard clearly throughout
the piece, as this
particular sound is very
important to the overall
color of this piece. The
Percussion 5 part
requires two performers
as some of the hits
happen too quickly for
one player to switch
between instruments. The
most important component
of this work is the
steady eighth-note pulse,
and this pulse never
changes even though the
meter changes frequently
to odd or uncommon time
signatures; if the eighth
notes remain constant and
driving, the meter
changes will not pose
much of a problem.
