The Pioneers vs. The Warriors
Joseph Bertolozzi
About this work:
The Pioneers Vs. The Warriors is the second movement from "Suite Poughkeepsie," written for the Bicentennial of that city's founding as a village in 1799. Each movement is intended as an evocation of characteristic local scenes, impressions of my own experiences growing up there, things which will be familiar to its present inhabitants. This movement simply calls to mind the city's two hometown high schools, pitted against each other as rivals.
