Program Notes
Like the paintings that inspired it, this selection weaves together different sounds and sentiments to produce a rich, evocative tapestry of impressions. The two movements are based on Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" and Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech." From the meditative and serene to the epic and grand, it's guaranteed to take you on an unforgettable journey.
