violin, cello, piano
A piano trio which is based entirely on selected traditional American ballads, folk songs, and fiddle tunes.

A "paean" to traditional American music. Very difficult -advanced performers only. Written with support of a Creative Activities Fellowship, Western Michigan University.
Movements: 3.0
Authored (or revised): 1990
First performance: February 1991 - Members of the Fontana Ensemble with pianist Ralph Votapek, Kalamazoo, MI.
