Composed in celebration of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra’s 60th season, Resonance | Rush | Ride invokes the head-over-heels, euphoric delight of falling in love with orchestral music. The piece opens with a cinematic expression of ‘love at first sound,’ blossoming into a lush, warm, lyrical Resonance. Through a Rush of excitement, the orchestra gains momentum, dancing and spinning into an expansive, soaring, and playful celebration of symphonic sound—a joyful Ride.
