By Gary Fagan

The title refers to a prominent characteristic of the composer’s home town of Frederick, Maryland. Along Church and Patrick Streets there is a large cluster of churches in close proximity. Frederick is well known for the "clustered spires" skyline of its historic downtown churches. These spires are depicted on the city's seal and many other city affiliated logos and insignia. The phrase "clustered spires" is used as the name of several city locations such as Clustered Spires Cemetery and the city-operated Clustered Spires
Golf Course.
