Program Notes:
Space Station One is a work for young bands which evokes the vastness of space and the courage of the men and women who venture there. The work is also designed to provide reinforcement for young brass players, building their embouchures with repeated use of Bb to F and D to G concert, for clarinets to apply the correct rolling between the fingerings for E and A and for flutes to move carefully between D and G.
