Description: A musical road trip. My parents used to drive us up Route 1 from Virginia to Maine each summer. This is my memory of that journey. Some orchestras have chosen to program individual movements of this piece, especially “The Detour, the Argument, and Finally, the Map” (Movement 3) and “Home” (Movement 4).
Instrumentation: 2 fl (picc), 2 ob(EH), 2 cl, 2bsn, 3 trp, 4 hrn, 3 trb, tba, 3 perc, timp, harp, strings
