Program Note This work was written for the NYC-based piano sextet Grand Band to premiere in the Detroit Institute of Arts’ iconic Diego Rivera Court. The resonance and grandeur of the room inspired me to write something that would utilize the acoustic qualities of the space while creating something subtle enough to not draw attention away from the room, but rather compliment Diego Rivera’s stunning mural and the room’s natural reverberant qualities.
