Zodiac Suite: Sagittarius

Program Note: "Zodiac Suite was the first orchestral program Mary Lou Williams composed in her own name, originally produced in 1945, but never performed by a full orchestra in her lifetime; her largest arrangement was also limited to a much smaller 45-instrument grouping. 

The Zodiac Suite explores varying eras and musical styles, with Williams referencing beloved artists and influences in her life grouped under their respective astrological signs. Sagittarius is dedicated to Eddie Heywood (Jazz pianist)." - Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra
