World Premiere: Angels with Dirty Faces
Last night was the world premiere of Angels with Dirty Faces, the piece dedicated to Nicole Alaniz. I blogged what I read before the piece was performed... notice the sunflowers on their music stands -- sunflowers were Nicole's favorite.
The band did a really great job -- especially considering the extensive rewrites I dropped on them the day before. The piece seemed to be very well received, and it was an honor to be able to create something for them to all come together for, in memory of their student, their friend, their daughter, their sister.
(Director Gil Wukitsch, me, and director Jim Kull)
I want to thank the musicians of St. Charles East High School for bringing such focus, dedication, and sensitivity to this performance, as well as offering me the opportunity to write this piece for them.
