Red Rock Canyon - "Three Scenes From The Desert"

"Three Scenes From The Desert"
Red Rock Canyon
Waltz for a Rainy Day
Desert Sunrise

The deserts of Southern Nevada and California were the inspiration behind these three compositions.

"A four-over-three polyrhythm forms the basis for the thematic material in this composition. Images of the “Wild West,” horse-drawn carriages, ranchers, and frontier settlers inspired this short, energetic piece."
