Where the River Flows James Swearingen

A suite in 3 parts based on the story of a young boy who was abducted by a Shawnee Indian hunting party in 1771. The first movement, The New Frontier is a bold and majestic section containing the patented Swearingen melodic themes which have made his music so popular. Bring Back My Child is a solemn section which includes some sorrowful chanting(optional) by members of the band and some very expressive solo spots for the 1st Clarinet and Flute. The third movement, Great Chief has a bright and rhythmic character bringing the suite to a dramatic and exciting climax.
