It conveys the story of the immigrant experience in early 19th century Canada
Description
“Macmillan’s dynamic music rolled and tumbled and soared, through the hard Atlantic crossing, the back-breaking clearing of land, the joys of family and disappointment and tragedy that also inevitably came… earthy folk stories in the elegant language of symphonic music.”
