Songs without Words

With admiration and respect, the Wisconsin Chapter of the College Band Directors National Association dedicated SONGS WITHOUT WORDS to James Arrowood, professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, for his years of leadership, inspiration and service to the art of band conducting and treaching. In keeping with this spirit, the composer adds the following: SONGS WITHOUT WORDS is a multi-movement work reflecting the strength of character, spirit, intellect and goodwill of my close friend and colleague, James Arrowood. It is indeed an honor to compose a work for such a fine artist, teacher and friend.
