Program Notes
The eerie mythological rivers of the underworld provide a foreboding backdrop to this distinctly programmatic piece. Alternatively powerful and restrained, this journey down the River Styx evokes images of velocity, dread, and ultimately salvation. An engaging and impressive musical depiction for your next concert or festival performance.
