Chamber Ensemble Solo Piano (solo piano) - medium SKU: CN.17440
Composed by Jon Metzger. Arranged by Michael Brand. Duration 4:30. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.17440). Riversong was originally composed for solo vibraphone and was presented in lead sheet format (for an improvising musician's use) and in a completely written-out version. Spelled here for piano, the original flow and lure of a river's pull is augmented by two additional vignettes - Water Catcher and Terra Firma - that depict both an unexpected outing and the satisfaction of a completed trip.

Water Catcher reminds us of what may lie around the next bend when storms follow the river and powerfully replace calm with chaos. Terra Firma confirms our respect and desire for the journey - natural repose and quiescence in harmony with anticipation of revisiting the river's song.
