Program Notes
The title "What Lies Within" is derived from a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
“What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are small matters
compared to
what lies within us.”
This, to me, seemed the perfect sentiment and advice for a group of seniors soon to be graduating from high school & moving on to bigger and better things. This piece was commissioned by the Prior Lake High School Percussion Ensemble, Justin Schramm, Director (Savage, Minnesota).
Performed by the TCU Percussion Orchestra, Brian A. West, conductor
