Programme Note

Composer Note:

The moods which seem particularly American to me are a noisy ribaldry, a sadness, a groping earnestness, which amounts to suppliance towards those deepest spiritual yearnings within ourselves, and finally a fierce struggle of will for power, for power in itself.

—Roy Harris
