Program Notes
Who hasn't entertained the idea of flying? This accessible work will allow the performer, along with the audience, to enjoy the fantasy of spreading their wings and soaring over meadows and farms, streets and schoolyards, and rich landscapes wherever their imagination takes them. It's a lush, flowing composition of joyful and whimsical expression.
