Program Notes:
Adventures come in many forms—whether it be a Greek, Persian or Indian, etc. hero heading off on a mission or a sailor embarking on a dangerous trip across uncharted waters, the call to adventure is what gets it all started. This piece is heroic and noble with many "characters" found along the way. Each section represents a new person, foe or obstacle that the hero must face.
