Program Notes
Spero means hope in latin and comes from the phrase, "dum spiro, spero" - when I breathe, I hope. During my travels this past summer while writing this piece, I kept reflecting on the need for hope. It also struck me that when I do think of hope, I think about my students and young people everywhere who are the hope for the future of music, and so much more.
I have wanted for some time to write a piece for solo drum and chamber ensemble. Spero features muted tenor drum and snare drum in addition to cajon. I am a drummer first, and snare drumming in particular is absolutely the foundation of my performing and teaching. The work is a nod to one of my favorite pieces in the repertoire, Mudra, by Eastman graduate and percussion legend Bob Becker.
Spero is dedicated to Liz and Stephen Biggar for their kindness and enthusiasm for the arts.
The work received its premier on September 27, 2019 in Kilbourn Hall at the Eastman School of Music. -MJB
