N\ WN UX me \ LAN A \ ——— AN ae BORDER CROSSING for . Percussion Quartet David Vayo HoneyRock 396 Raystown Road Everett, PA 15537 USA PROGRAM NOTE Late one afternoon in 1984, | came across a parade while | was walking toward my bus stop in downtown San Jose, Costa Rica. A group of uniformed high-school kids came marching down Avenida Central playing a Brazilian samba on drums and glockenspiels. | realized later how appropriate this scene was to that armyless, most peaceful of countries where | lived for two Years. Rather than playing a march rooted in militarism, the band played music expressive of good feeling and celebration. Two years later, when Anthony Miranda asked me to write a percussion ensemble piece for his group at SUNY Buffalo, | immediately thought of the samba marching band; my version of it appears in the climactic final section. The title BORDER CROSSING is partly autobiographical, reflecting my in- terest and involvement as a North American in the culture of the lands south of /a frontera. |t also refers to the intermingling of contemporary classical and popular styles in my music. As whether my Border Crossing is a legal one, accompanied by all the proper documents — I prefer to leave that question unaswered. = David Vayo The composer would appreciate being informed of performances of this work.
