Program Notes:
The Fall of Pride is a busy playful piece. Every instrument contributes tiny musical fragments to create a circus like feel. The playfulness of the music stays present, even as the sound adopts a more aggressive tone. The climax of the piece brings forth a complete turnaround in sound. Whimsy and aggression are replaced with a sense of majesty.
(Michelle Pegus)
