program note
“Go and” is one of the most versatile phrases in the English language. One can “go and do” an action, or if you’ve messed things up, then you’ve “really gone and done it.” The title, go and, in the context of this piece for the New York Youth Symphony,  is somewhere between these things: a present call to action while simultaneously a past reflection upon what the music has just gone and done. So go at, go back, go for, go down, go off, go on, go after, go and.
