The Road Unknown

Deriving its subtitle from a Civil War poem by Walt Whitman, this original tone poem by Richard Meyer is full of emotion and energy.

The work is divided into four sections and begins with a recurring theme introduced by solo trumpet that represents a young man. This segues into the next theme, which features George Roots's stirring "Battle Cry of Freedom." Flutes and drums are widely used to convey a strong feeling of patriotism. "The Road Unknown" is a thoughtful, well-written work that is sure to stand out at your next concert!
