Program Note
Boomtown is an adaptation of the seventh movement to my Star-Spangled Variations, a collection of eight short pieces for solo violin based on The Star-Spangled Banner. The seventh variation is also the fastest one, written in the style of an old fiddle reel, bursting with energy and quintessential American flavors.
