Composer Robert W. Smith has enjoyed his sojourns in the great state of Texas each summer since 1985. In a recent visit to the southwest with his family, he was inspired to sketch three impressions of the Lone Star State. Desert Dawn opens the work with Native-American overtones depicting the warmth of the sunrise over a beautiful southwestern vista. Anyone ever visiting San Antonio will delight in the Paseo Del Rio depicting the light and lively Riverwalk of this great city. The energetic and powerful Longhorns concludes the work with a sense of joy while celebrating this uniquely American way of life. Suitable for concert and festival performance, Southwest Summer will be a valued addition to your next program.

A Stroll in the Park is a piece in the tradition of “walking music” (such as the “Promenade” from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition or Gershwin's “Walking the Dog” from Shall We Dance). It strives to describe the joyful benefits of a relaxing walk in a city park on a summer Sunday afternoon, and should be played in a relaxed, carefree and laidback manner.
