Program Notes

One finds love when they least expect it. 

Life has a way of moving along at its own pace.

Out of the Blue is about just that, unexpected love.  The work hints at Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” throughout, though it never out right states the melody. 

-Chris Lamb, August 2011
