Program Notes

Muse of the Missouri was commissioned by the Kansas City Symphony as part of its series of new pieces written in celebration of the many fountains from which the city so justly takes pride. This proved a congenial assignment that happened to coincide with the end of a four-year stint as visiting Laureate Composer at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, so I see it as a tribute to a place for which I have great affection and where I now have many friends. The fountain from which the piece takes its title is located at 8th and Main, but the piece is really more about the city and its surroundings. It begins gently with an evocation of the Missouri River and then unfolds as something of a journey through a landscape of flowing water and leaping fountains, the views constantly changing as we progress, new scenes appearing around corners and then earlier ones suddenly seen again from a different vantage point. The work is dedicated with gratitude to my dear friend, Michael Stern and the Kansas City Symphony.
