PROGRAM NOTES

Romp might be an evening on the town where all caution lets loose in the light-hearted, exuberant and quite raucous piece.  Elements of jazz and the mood of a lively party combine with repetitive rhythmic patterns, changing meters, playful exchanges and comic sounds.

performed by Blue Streak Ensemble on March 9, 2016 at Ohio University. Emma Shook - violin, Shuai Wang - piano, Luke Rinderknecht - percussion
