Program Notes
STELLAR VISIONS (2005) for flute and marimba by Howard J. Buss was written during the Winter of 2005 and is dedicated to the McCormick Duo: Kim McCormick, flute, and Robert McCormick, percussion. This colorful and engaging work juxtaposes mystical, lyrical, and energetic sections in a manner analogous to the ebb and flow of emotions experienced by the composer during meditation on the awesome grandeur of a starry night.
From mystical, quiet murmurings to intense and brilliant forte passages, the music showcases the great expressive range of the flute and marimba duo.[1]
