Description

Eye of the Hawk was inspired by the beautiful and majestic Hudson Valley. I wanted to base the piece on something that would resonate with the band who would be premiering it … my local, exceptional, middle school band. The hawk became our spirit animal, and represented to me many of the qualities that are inherent in a young person of that age – bold, instinctive, elegant – a fierce creature who “owns the sky.” The music conveys power, freedom, and confidence. Just like the students. –Susan Botti.
