PROGRAM NOTES
The title "Pick-up Sticks" is taken from the classic game of the same name in which the players attempt to pick up various colored straws in a pile without moving other straws. The work can be loosely compared to that of the "classical" sonata genre featuring a soloist (Player 1) with piano accompaniment (Player 2). As the soloist, Player 1's instrument set-up and music requires a significant amount of choreography as they navigate through the various instruments and combinations of instruments, continuously picking up and putting down the various chimes, mallets, bows, sticks, etc.
