Program Notes
Surge was commissioned by Dr. Blake Wilkins and the Moores School of Music Percussion Ensemble. The premier performance was at the 2003 PASIC. Focused around swelling chords, driving rhythms, and a highly syncopated and energetic tune, this work constantly gathers momentum until it ends on a rapidly pulsing chord in the upper register of the keyboards.
