Throughout our lives we are surrounded by turmoil, ugliness, hostility, and danger. It comes in various forms and sometimes from unexpected sources. Nevertheless we do our best to prevail despite the daunting challenges. It helps if we surround ourselves with as much beauty, stability, and goodness as possible.
Order vs. Chaos dramatizes this juxtaposition by incorporating musical elements that alternate between the regulated and the disorganized, the beautiful and the ugly, the serene and the frenzied. For the first element, it uses a rapturous chorale by Johann Sebastian Bach, entitled Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan. For the second, it employs aleatoric techniques that were developed in the 1960s by composers like John Cage, Earle Brown, Witold Lutoslawski, and Krzysztof Penderecki. Simply put, aleatoric music relies to a great extent on "chance," sometimes within a disciplined framework, other times not.
-Richard Young

Full program notes are included with the score. There are fingerings and bowings in all the string parts of every one of CSPC's pieces. These "cooked-in" technical solutions target the particular levels of the students. They are not just pragmatic but "musical."
