Program Notes<br />

<strong>Breakneck</strong> is a short concert opener written for the Jackson Northwest<br />

High School Wind Ensemble for their collaborative concert with the<br />

Western Michigan University Wind Symphony in 2022. The piece depicts<br />

the breakneck speeds of horse racing through a sprightly tempo and<br />

driving percussion, with frantic meter changes adding to the excitement<br />

and unpredictability of these contests.
