Dressing to the Nines was written earlier in 2012 while I was travelling around the country auditioning for music schools. I distinctly remember bumpy transportation, foreign areas, and painstakingly attempting to dress sharply for my auditions. The title comes from this phrase meaning to dress up flamboyantly and cleanly for the occasion. The title also serves the purpose to express the motif of the many 9th intervals within my piece. Finally, the triangle serves the purpose to add a crisp flare to the occasion.
