Program Notes:
Journey to Jordan is a percussion ensemble I composed for my middle school students a few years ago. In crafting the piece, I wanted the main melody to be very lyrical and I wanted the “hit spots” of the song to be strong and forceful. My intention of the piece is for young percussionists to have a percussion ensemble that teaches some basic ensemble fundamentals, yet entertaining and fun for the kids to play.
Journey to Jordan is dedicated to my son, Jordan.
