Program Notes
The river that inspired Mark Twain's entertaining stories of steamboats and adventure is the centerpiece of this ambitious composition. It begins simply, representing the humble origins of the Mississippi, reflects on the capricious adventures of Huck Finn, and weaves The Water Is Wide and Deep River into a stunning musical tribute. With McGinty's artful scoring, this piece combines both serious and light-hearted music that will capture your imagination
