Program Notes
Commissioned by Bowling Green State University for the 2022 Middle School Honor Band.
up a notch was written for Grade 2.5 Concert Band. It takes popular chord progressions and pop song structures and, as the title says, continuously ramps them up a notch until a final sense of relief is reached at the end of the piece.
