Program Notes
Radix was composed for the Honor Band of the 2008 High Plains Band Camp held on the campus of Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas. The premiere performance was given on July 26, 2008 with the composer conducting. At the suggestion of the composer’s friend David Holsinger, minor revisions were subsequently made and the newly edited version was given its first performance by the Fort Hays State University Wind Ensemble in October of 2008.
