PROGRAM NOTE
Inspiration! is dedicated to the power of inspiration, and the will to inspire. The composition begins with a flourish much like the spark of an idea and erupts into joyous interplay from all sections of the orchestra. The middle section is more of a reflection of the first section, soulful and profound in nature. The rest of the piece is in high spirits, inspired by that which came before it.
