Program Notes

​

Short Symphony No. 2 “Impressions” was composed for my orchestra students at California High School, Whittier, CA. Each movement is a simple “Impression” of three influential composers from my school days. Each movement is intended to be pedagogical and was composed with intentional bowings, articulations, tempos, styles and interpretations for the exposure of my students.

 

Movement 1 - Cheerful Youth  - Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)                                                                                          Movement II - Musique de Nuit - Muarice Ravel (1875-1937)
Movement III - Heart-rending - Dimitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)
