Program Notes
"The Race" is a contemporary adaptation of the familiar story, "The Hare and the Tortoise." In this new version, the central characters (Rabbit and Tortoise) remain the same. But additional characters (the neighbors, the Owl) are added. Sights and sounds from the neighborhood are incorporated--a baseball game, the birds singing, neighbors waving "hello." And, the race itself takes place with the characters donning running shoes and caps. A referee starts the race, with the sound of a Starter's Pistol. There is a moral to this well-known story: slow down and appreciate your surroundings. The entire adventure ends in a grand celebration party for all. This work may be performed in standard concert clothing, although running shoes and caps may be added. Or, the Narrator and brass players may experiment with costuming. The Tuba (Tortoise) may wear a backpack resembling a shell. Trumpet 1 (Rabbit) may try wearing rabbit ears or paws. The Narrator may select some attire suggesting a Referee. Puppets and scenery may even be added. "The Race" was created especially for school and community concerts. It is hoped that audiences of all ages will find pleasure in this simple tale, retold as a contemporary road race. Sports fans (which include the composer) might be particularly amused!
