Program Notes

Sweet Imagination is a set of four short “expressions of the imagination” for brass quintet.
Sounds or images which entered the composer’s fantasy during the time of composing are
presented as vignettes.
“Things that go ‘Bump’ in the Night” is subtitled “a ghost story.” Scurrying sounds, spooky
glissandi and unexpected loud noises fill the nighttime “story.”
“Tiptoes” is a minuet, a dainty minuet. Occasionally, but still lightly, a contrasting section in
4/4 interrupts the 3/4 meter. And a “soothing” middle section smoothes out the texture briefly.
Then, the opening “tiptoes” motive returns.
“Turkey Trot” enjoys the delightful sounds that can be produced with brass mouthpieces. These
gobbling sounds open the movement. The turkey theme then enters as a light, “buoyant
turkey.” And later, the theme returns as a “robust turkey.” [There are many wild turkeys in
the fields next to the composer’s studio.]
“Dancing Shoes” is an appropriate title for music in a “soft shoe” style of rolling triplets. Many
extra-musical effects such as tapping on instruments, lip smacks and the occasion foot thud are
inserted into this musical “stroll in the park.”
