Program Notes

The composer writes,

Journey Down Niagara was inspired by a trip to Niagara Falls, Ontario, with my wife Kimberly. Celebrating our one-year wedding anniversary, we experienced the Maid of the Mist, White Water Walk, Journey Behind the Falls, as well as the falls themselves. The work attempts to musically capture the essence of these experiences. Journey Down Niagara is dedicated to my wife, Kimberly Joan Tucker.
