PROGRAM NOTE

Near and Far is really a very unambiguous title. Writing this piece I was thinking of how staggeringly different the canyon looks from on the ground and from up above, on the rim. And so speedy, itchy material (close up) is gradually hugely elongated, with all of the detail subsumed in plain lines, as the focus is pulled farther and farther back.
