| Program Notes | Spinning Rounds is a concerto for band, giving all the players a chance to display their individual and ensemble virtuosity. The two movements of Spinning rounds are contrasting in their formal strategy: The first movement, "Wheel Intervention". focuses on a single ostinato idea which fight off sundry interruptions always to return with greater obsessive power When it finally gathers its momentum at the end of the movement, there are three large wheels in simultaneous motion: the one-measure ostinato idea, a two measure syncopated counterpoint, and a rolling three-measure phase. The second movement "Runes and Rondelays" is more of a stream-of-consciousness form. The "runes" at the beginning have a mystical sense of an archaic ritual leading to a similar ritualistic quiet chorale. This is followed by three "rondelays" - round dances with circular tunes which build in energy to a dizzy climax, broken off to reprise the chorale, this time heard in the full rich glory of the brass selection. -Don Freund |
