Program Note
Bob Hohner was one of my closest friends and musical companions. He was one of the very few people I know who didn’t want a recording of music that he was to per- form. It was his joy to discover musical sound. It was his insistent and persistent eff ort with “Arcadia II: Concerto for Marimba and Percussion Ensemble” that rescued this “failed” piece from oblivion, and started a long collaboration between us. I wrote “Montana Music: Th ree Dances for Percussion” for him, and then “In Lonely Fields” for Percussion and Orchestra. He recorded “Arcadia II,” “Montana Music,” and “Crown of Th orns,” and we were started on yet another composing project when he died. Th at project was to have been a “Symphony for Percussion.” I had a fl ash vision of a stage full of percussion, a large percussion orchestra—sections of marimbas and vibraphones—and lots of players, and I heard them playing a full-scale symphony. Th e project came to a halt with Bob’s death, but I decided for his memorial piece that I would write at least one movement of this work, using all of the percussion forces available at the time at Central Michigan University. It is off ered in memory of Bob, whose dedicated life as performer, teacher and friend touched, and continues to touch, many thousands of people
