Composer's Notes  
In the spring of 1995, I had the pleasure of working with the Milwaukee-based new music ensemble Present Music during a residency at the Cornish Institute of the Arts in Seattle, Washington. During a lunch break, I chanced upon an alternative rock record store with an impressive array of unusual postcards. One postcard in particular interested me: Nancy Sinatra, circa 1966, sporting a pair of knee high white boots sitting on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I dashed back to the rehearsal filled with inspiration, and Sinatra Shag for Flute/Piccolo, Bass Clarinet, Violin, Cello, Piano, and Percussion was born.
