Program Notes
The Dragon Run is a 40-mile winding stream that flows through Virginia and empties into the Piankatank River. It is also known as the Dragon Swamp and even just The Dragon. This immense ecosystem is known for its rich wildlife and preserved beauty.
Featuring strong rhythms, intentional dissonance, contrasting dynamics, and wonderful musical opportunities for all, this work echoes the excitement of exploring the natural views and seeing the wildlife along the river and surrounding swamps.
