Program Notes
Bicycle Waltz celebrates the bicycle, a popular mode of conveyance in use for over a century. The +musical adventure+ portrays the delights and perils of riding a bicycle. Based upon the 1890+s song "Daisy Bell" ("A Bicycle Built for Two"), the orchestral waltz presents the tune in a variety of guises within a formal structure of: Introduction -- preparation for the ride A -- setting out on the ride B -- a bumpy stretch of road...a mishap...slowly regaining confidence C -- the ride resumes Although bicycles and bicycle attire have evolve over the years, the experience of riding a bicycle has remained remarkably unchanged. Whether our individual approach to bike riding has been leisurely or energetic, sedate or hazardous, may of us have shared in those moments of exhilaration as we set off on our own two-wheelers! It is this spirit of joy which has inspired the Bicycle Waltz. --Gwyneth Walker
