Program Notes:
LOL (Laugh Out Loud) is a wacky, fast-and-furious barn-burner reminiscent of a circus march or “screamer.” This composition is built around cartoon-like upward and downward scale motifs, tritone progressions, laughing rhythms and trombone glissandi, to create a zany, madcap tour de force.
(Robert Buckley)
