PROGRAM NOTE

FE26, pronounced "F-E twenty-six", was inspired by Chris Dunker's photography of the demolition of
the Geneva Steel Plant entitled, "Dismantling Geneva Steel."  This piece explores the curious paradox
exhibited in the cycle of mining and refining iron.  Man removes iron from its natural state in the earth
and orders it by manipulating it and altering it to serve many purposes.  After fulfilling its intended
purpose the iron is eventually returned to the earth, as represented by the demolition of the Geneva Steel
Plant.  Man views this demolition as a disordering process; however, the process is also returning the
iron to its natural order in the earth.  Thanks to Chris Dunker who allowed me to use his photo,
"Scrap Yard" on the title page of this piece.
