Program Note
Foot Tapping Song was written in five-and-a-half hours on a Friday in September as part of the Iron Composer competition sponsored by ANALOG Arts and held at Baldwin-Wallace University. Since my secret musical ingredient had to involve the audience “foot-tapping” to my future piece, I thought I would give the audience something to tap their feet to.
The title of this piece tips its hat to The Meters’s “Hand Clapping Song” from their album Struttin’.
