Synopsis

An orchestral-and-vocal journey traces a traveler’s push toward the American West. Through linked musical scenes and sung narration, the piece moves from bustling city to open plains and on to new horizons, touching on hope, risk, and reinvention. The score shifts between lyrical reflection and propulsive momentum, framing a portrait of migration and ambition that suggests the promise—and cost—of striking out for “all points west.”
