Program Notes:

My friend Ainsley Kilgo approached me and asked me to arrange some processional and recessional music for her marriage with Garret Reynolds. She wanted Holst's "First Suite" (since she and Garret first met during Eastman Wind Orchestra rehearsals of this piece) arranged for saxophone quartet (her primary instrument) and organ (to be played by her freshman year roommate). An Eastman wedding through and through, I was more than happy to oblige!
