Program Notes

This work was only Holsinger's second composition for concert band. The inspiration comes from the composer's reading of the life of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and his dealings with the Council of Old Believers, known as 'Raskolniki'.The work begins with an ostinato in the low reeds, euphonium, piano and xylophone. This melodic motif permeates throughout the work. As with this composer's oeuvre, the music is fast pace with numerous meter changes.
