PROGRAM NOTES
In his youth, Elvis Presley
was inspired by gospel music and by those who performed it,
and this influence carried throughout his life. This was in
stark contrast to the scandalous persona that the media
assigned to him for much of his career. This work is a
meditation on how subtle contrast and change can lead to
altered perception, and seeks to juxtapose the image with
the words and beliefs of The King himself.
