Program Notes:
There have been many mythical heroes in famous literature. From the heroes in ancient Roman and Greek myths to the heroes of Japan, India, and the Indigenous peoples of North America, they come in all shapes and sizes. Their quests may all be different but there are some constants in all great stories. Each section in this piece has a different character or style to it: Call to Adventure; Tests; Allies and Enemies; Loss; and The Road Home.
