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.

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.
