AirLink was commissioned by the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association for their 75th anniversary. It was premiered in April, 2008 by the PMEA All-State Concert Band under the direction of Dr. William Stowman. The work is dedicated to the memory of longtime Slippery Rock University band director, Blase Scarnatti. AirLink takes its title from the 700-mile flights I take to visit my fiancee several times per month. The work is based on a single theme and is an unstructured set of motivic variations, including fugues and canons. The slow, reflective middle section of the work features many soloists. That music returns toward the end of the work in a majestic statement by the full ensemble.
