Program Notes
With music by William Penn and words based on the writings and poetry of Hamlin Garlin, this is a unique and beautiful opportunity to feature a medium voice with wind ensemble (no saxophones, flugelhorns instead of trumpets). Sensitive and extremely musical, with nice variety in the various percussion instrument parts, especially, it is a terrific solo vehicle.
