Program Notes

“Resurgence” is an invigorating and cinematic piece for the concert band, born from the themes of rebirth and renewal during a dark season of my life when I longed for light in the midst of hardship. The piece begins with a hauntingly beautiful introductory passage, setting a reflective tone before suddenly transitioning into a dramatic and powerful theme that represents the energy of resurgence. With an emphasis on percussion and an ever-building intensity, the music expands through various sections of the band, capturing the essence of growth and renewal. The climactic moments are filled with dynamic contrasts, culminating in a profound closing statement by the low Brass and Trumpets that symbolizes the strength found in overcoming adversity. Resurgence is not only a musical journey but a personal reflection on resilience—an experience that will inspire young musicians to embrace the joy of playing with purpose and verve.
