Playing solo, she was accompanied by pre-recorded Z, the composer singing and speaking, describing the geometry of a soccer ball. That would be a tall order for any composer, and Dubon’s piece was merely an exercise in agitation, often on only one or two notes. Sandford’s manner was baroque-ish, heavily contrapuntal, transparent, smart, and full of fine detail, and also covered the broadest range of moods of the evening. Also some of the composers seemed uncomfortably limited. This was a nice balance with what was a well-crafted variation form in three movements.

“The reason we have that freedom celebration during the rally on Thursday is because probably in 2004, at seven in the morning, these lieutenants showed up in their uniforms and looking for a couple of campers that were here because their son had been killed in Iraq the night before,” Woodruff said. “There was an active duty general and some active duty troops that had their uniforms and their gear, and right there, we had a little ceremony with those guys. The flags will remain standing until the Sturgis Rally ends, allowing time for people to visits and pay tribute. It means a lot of different things to people. It’s good for this county and everybody need a little bit of lift and more belief in, you know, the American dream.” And honoring these veterans, honoring these people that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country, our freedom — it is pretty special.”
