Program Notes
This lyric piece skillfully intertwines the melodies of Shenandoah and The Water Is Wide to create an expressive piece that reflects the flowing beauty and majesty of a great river. The melodies float gracefully together and apart, just as rivers ebb and flow as they drift through the landscape.
