Meditation on a Groove

---

Duration: 5'

Program Note:

While most pieces titled “Meditation” meditate on a theme, this piece meditates on a famous groove from Herbie Hancock’s Watermelon Man. This parent groove persists throughout the entire piece, slowly developing from section to section. The climaxes of three main sections are then stated in order at the end of the work, followed by a coda written in the style of an improvisation.
