| Program Notes | Suite for Strings is a three movement set of short pieces commissioned by the Harllee Middle School String Orchestra in Bradenton, Florida. "First Run" is an energetic movement filled with 16th notes and rapid bowing. "Bradenton Waltz" demonstrates a more leisurely approach to string writing. The waltz unfolds gracefully, with pizzicato flourishes. "Portable Rhythms" involves rhythms of snaps, taps and vocal effects recurring (i.e. carried about) through the music. The title was inspired by several factors -- the moving rhythms, the fact that the Harllee Middle School is temporarily using portable classroom units (!) and the life of the traveling composer who created this movement while on the road and moving out of a house! --Gwyneth Walker |
