DC was commissioned by Nan Raphael (Solo Piccolo, US Army Field Band, ret.) who premiered it in an all-Schocker concert at the 2015 NFA convention in Washington DC, with Schocker at the piano. Schocker’s 3 1/2 minute work is a study on the pitches D and C treated slow, fast, lyrically, and giddy. For advanced performers.
