Performance Notes Parody is a reflection on an event in the life of the composer. While this event remains anonymous, the reactions of the composer during this event are intended to be conveyed by the musical content of the piece. The piece is divided into four sections. The first section is intended to convey a sense of vibrancy and energy. At measure 33, a somewhat more aggressive mood is intended. In the second section, starting at measure 104 to measure 122, a sense of longing is established. The third section, from measure 123 to measure 160, is a contemplative section. This section reflects a sense of melancholy. The last section returns the listener to the same sense of bright energy which permeates the first section.

Jesse Monkman Born in Syracuse, New York, Jesse Monkman began his percussion studies with Jeff Grubbs at age eleven. In Jesse’s high school years he played with the Syracuse Symphony Youth Orchestra, and attended the Saratoga Orchestral Music Festival for several seasons. Jesse has since received Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at the New England Conservatory of Music studying with Frank Epstein and Will Hudgins of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. During his studies at the New England Conservatory, Jesse attended the Tanglewood Music Festival, Pacific Music Festival, and the Spoleto Festival. Currently, Jesse plays with the Portland Symphony Orchestra of Maine, Boston Modern Orchestra, as well as other performance venues in the Boston area. As well as playing, Monkman teaches at the Powers Music School in Belmont, and has played many of his works throughout the New England area.
