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.
