Program Notes

Pervicacity was originally composed in the fall of 2020for the Blair Academy (N.J.) Orchestra, where my former student, Jennifer Mazza Pagotto, teaches. Her instumentation was not that of the standard symphony and I wanted to give her a piece that would work for her ensemble. Later I expanded the version to accommodate the standard flex band instrumentation. The word "pervicacity" means stubborn, which is highlighted in the reoccurring three-note theme.
