PROGRAM NOTE

This piece is an adaptation of the last movement of my string quartet Get into the NOW for the Nu Deco Ensemble in Miami. When the opportunity came up for me to make this arrangement, I wanted to both showcase what the group can uniquely do while also writing in a way that captures the spirit of what Miami inherently is.

In Go BIG or Go HOME, you will find hints of funk, bluegrass, and Latin while being driven by groove, virtuosity, and moments of improvisation allowing members of the group to put their own personal signature on the piece. Most importantly, it is written from a place of self-realization, empowerment, and celebration of how joyous life can be.
