Program Notes

I often have to travel to new places as a composer. Whenever I spend time in a new location, I enjoy sending my niece a postcard. I do this because she loves getting mail, but also to show her the many places music can take us. I want to increase her imagination and help her dream. I decided to write a musical postcard after my experience hiking at Sequoia National Park.
