Program Notes:
Each movement of Moments reflects on a time of day, from dawn to midnight. This is not meant to be a particularly special day. Instead, these are imagined to be moments of what might be rather ordinary days, but perhaps considered and focused on to a greater degree than would ordinarily be the case.
