Program Note

Symphonic Suite is an unfurling of confusion; multiple tonal areas and voices compete for the forefront, and repetitive, rambling thoughts cross the mind . A wandering conscience views its surroundings, introspectively considers the origin of its problems, and finally comes to terms with its situation.
