Filled with energy and vitality, this work is reminiscent of the past. After the composer gave careful consideration to the heritage of South Carolina, he quickly realized that past lifestyles relied on walking much more than now. As a result, he composed a sturdy and spirited walking tune, and modeled it after the style of old English Folk Ballads. The result is a composition that communicates a unique energy and sentiment all its own.
