Program Notes
Jubilee was written for the Kansas State Teachers College Symphonic Band in 1971. The work is reflective of an up-beat style where meters continuously vary while the underlying pulse remains constant and driving. The composition has an overture form that features an energetic “wild-west” motive which dances in each section with continuous repetition. The second section introduces a lyrical motive before wandering through multiple mutations of the original motive, finally returning to the opening material.
