Program Notes

In the Silence of the Canyon is a composition that reflects my impressions of the Grand Canyon. I found it amazing that in such a busy tourist spot, one could find solace in areas of this incredible “wonder of the world” where only a light breeze and lone bird circling is on your horizon. The reoccurring full band motive initially reflects the first moment one looks into the canyon. It returns several times in the piece, unpredictably much as hiking the canyon, coming around a turn and seeing its grandeur once again!
