  1. Ellen Taaffe Zwilich | Upbeat! (1998)

     

    Program note

    Upbeat! was commissioned for premiere by the National Symphony Orchestra (Sept. 5th, 1999), and the Westchester Symphony Orchestra (Sept. 18th, 1999), in performances conducted by Anthony Aibel. The work springs from the famous upbeat in the Partita No. 3 by J. S. Bach, and so the title is a play on words, referring also to the lively and joyous "upbeat" character of the music.
