lJnderwritten by the American ComposersForum

with funds provided by the JeromeFoundation.

Programnotes:

The title alludesto the ensemble'spairing of identicalinstrumentsthat, like a pair of car headlights,work in
concertto createsomethinglargerbut can also function on their own. The namesof the movementscontinue
the car metaphor:'I. High Beams'is energeticand emphatic,'II. Battery'sDead'is moody and slow,
'III. Turn Signals'is shortandangular,and'IV. Big Fuzzy Circles'featuresthe two guitarsreallyworking
together,just as car headlightsdo on a dark road at night.

As I was writing the piece,one of my main objectivewas to simply enjoy the process,and I hopethis comes
throushin the music,
