Program Note

Miniatures is a collaborative work between the students at the Cathedral Academy of Pompei and composer Nikolas A. Jeleniauskas. As part of the Composers in Schools grant we explored how to communicate thoughts and ideas in musical terms, what kinds of ways these ideas can be organized, and through this chose a number of these ideas created in group sessions that would become part of the final product. As a result of this process, much of the creation of this piece belongs to the students as well.
