Culture in the City Flute Violins Cello Piano
Andrew Rodriguez

Composer's Notes: Culture in the City was inspired by the time I spent touring the country as a musician. Coming from a small city in west central Texas, it was an eye-opening cultural-experience to spend time in various places around the country and experience the immense cultural diversity that makes this country what it is. The piece is littered with sudden color changes and constant motion. These different colors represent cultural differences that I experienced going from city to city. Throughout the piece, there are a few key melodic ideas that create the backbone of the piece. The use of this technique came from the notion that, despite our cultural differences we come from the same vein of life; we are one with each other. Diversity is a beautiful thing, and this piece is intended to portray the vividness of the culturally diverse world that we live in.
