 Evan Chambers: Program Notes
To me polka is filled with the same intensity, frustration, sadness, as well as silliness and joy that fills the lives of the people who make and love the music.
At a real polka party, as in this piece, there's a lot of rowdyness, a lot of unmitigated happiness; things can and do get out of hand--sometimes there's so much much energy flying around that the only possible response is to shout out loud.
Polka Nation is a celebration of the centrifugal force that powers the polka, the explosive balance of tension and abandon that makes it ignite, burn and cook: that literally entrancing counterpoint of bouncing, whirling, and spinning that lives in the charged space surrounding the music and the dance.
