PROGRAM NOTES

Boom! is a relentless, fast-paced, perpetual work that evokes the feeling of mental overload, time running out, and, in a literal sense, loud sounds and explosions. A wall of pulsating sound rapidly approaches the ear like a bullet train.

 

Written for Latitude 49 Ensemble. Thank you to Pierre Jalbert for his guidance and feedback on the work.
