ABOUT THE MUSIC

This piece is intended to be fun to play and entertaining for audiences, with its quixotic changes of mood, and journeys between atonality and downright tunefulness. Think of the piece as sitting in the Baroque tradition of music that invokes a specific emotion, or affect, in each of the five sections. The music of the opening section, for example, quivers with anxiety!  The performers should communicate the emotional states (anxiety, anger, etc) vividly to their audience.
