Program Notes<br />
<strong>Scorch</strong> is a fiery and exciting work for young band, inspired by the scorching<br />
heats of African deserts. The piece depicts this terrain by utilizing the<br />
Phrygian and Phrygian Dominant scales that are commonly found in<br />
Egyptian music and featuring African and Afro-Cuban percussion<br />
instruments, including the cabasa, claves and djembe. The piece contains<br />
two rhythmically similar melodic themes that alternate throughout the piece.<br />
These melodies are typically found in the higher voices of the ensemble and<br />
continuously heat up and build towards an exciting, boisterous ending.
