Program Notes

Symphonic Moment was commissioned by Yamaha Symphonic Band and was composed between December 1974 and March of the following year.

The title does not have specific meaning. The composer wanted to express symphonic capability of the wind band medium, and vague emotion lying deep within the human heart.
