PROGRAM NOTE:
Microwave Popcorn is a piece about movies… and popcorn! After three movie themes (action, drama and comedy), the players discuss what kind of movie they would like to watch. They can't agree, so they make some popcorn -- an aleatoric mimicking of popcorn popping in the microwave. Then, it's back to the movies, and a reprise of the themes. Will they decide on anything?
All music
