Program Notes: This piece is dedicated to my father: Robert Clifton Whited, Jr. It goes through memories he allowed me to have with him before his passing on 12/26/2021. As for what memories are addressed in the piece, pay close attention to quotes at the top of some parts of the score to show what each section is designed to emulate. It is with my own due diligence that I should warn you--the conductor or viewer looking at this score: this is an INCREDIBLY difficult piece to perform and quite virtuosic in many ways. Bear this in mind before trying to perform it.
Recording Notes: Recording made in Musescore 4. Some effects in the recording, such as trombone glissandi are not accurately represented.
