Program Notes
Ever wonder what it would be like to play the score to a movie about an alien invasion? This fresh work for concert band has hints to Bernard Herrmann's score to The Day the Earth Stood Still and even features a theremin!
- Program Note from publisher
I wrote this piece after my friend Brooke Pierson joking texted me to write a dark march with electronics. It had been over a decade since I’ve written one, so it was definitely time to give it another shot.
The idea behind this march is to sound like a Hollywood sound track to an alien invasion movie. There’s an optional electronics part for a theremin player (either real or synthesized) as well to really help drive home the UFO theme!
