Program Notes

This music is notated in words and directions only. I premiered it at Gesell Institute for Early Childhood Learning at the University of Wisconisn - Stevens Point, Lorrie Richardson, teacher. Also, I recorded it on Community Access Television in Stevens Point. What prompted its composition was I was getting tired of carrying around instruments that were too heavy for me, and wrote a piece that was open ended insofar as choice of instruments was concerned. It sounded well.
