	Southwest Texas State University Panorama Steel Band. November 12, 2002. This is so much closer to what I envisioned when I wrote this piece. You can feel more of a groove with this recording.

	This is my 2nd real percussion ensemble piece. This piece is meant to convey the certainty, as well as the unpredictability of water rapids. By using the same basic theme and altering it slightly, it mirrors the fact of rapids keeping the same substance, water, but with altered flow. Notice the constant "stream" of 8th/16th notes to keep the music "flowing." This is a midi version of the piece. The performance recording was not an accurate representation of what I wanted. This piece is available for purchase from Drop 6 Media, Inc. http://www.drop6.com/ens.htm

	Premiered April 18, 2002 - Southwest Texas State University Wind Ensemble. The Title DANSE MOODS, refers to the notion that moods can change very quickly and sometimes for no apparent reason. It is with this in mind that the piece uses different instances of dance-inspired setions. The first section opens with a chord motif complete with Spanish dance flourishes in the trumpets and horns. This motif is then followed by an almost cartoon-like theme inspired by quick and spastic moves. The third section introduces a sweeter and happier theme stretched over a 7/8, 5/8 meter. Watching a young girl dance for family inspired it. The dance was somewhat a "funny waltz," that at times stetched either an eighth note longer or shorter, ending up in the odd meters. The final section takes the quick opening theme and darkens the mood with a quasi-jazz feeling with a modern beat set underneath. Beginning with a flurry of exchanged notes between the trumpets and horns, the piece culminates with a modern day rock feel influenced by rhythms of modern dance music.
