Program Notes:

"Look up!" will undoubtedly be uttered a few times during the rehearsal process for Home, as it utilizes the concept of rubato to the fullest. Ritardando and accelerando are peppered throughout to make the piece feel like it's floating. The timpani solo at the beginning can especially push and pull their lyrical content to bring about a strong emotional impact.
