Program Notes
​
About the Work... An impression and reflection on Psalm 1:3:
“He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bear fruit in its season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.”
​
This work, premiered on December 20, 2024, was composed as a gift to Glen Kamida, an amazing teacher, musician, and friend to many. Glen’s 40-year teaching career has left a wonderful legacy and a truly positive influence on his students who range from early childhood to ages 80+.
(See Glen’s non-profit work with nTyme www.ntyme.org)
​
“... like a tree planted beside flowing streams...” was written with the younger musician in mind with limited rhythms and ranges. Since Glen is a noted clarinetist, the orchestration places the clarinet section at the beginning of the work with a flowing progression of notes reflective of a quiet stream.The work weaves back and forth between quiet, flowing, and majestic passages.
