This
pioneering spirit is
clearly reflected in the
rhythmically exciting
opening of Gateway West.
Shifting meters and
interesting percussion
fills are combined with
bright, lighthearted
woodwind melodies. The
trip west was not an easy
one and these early
travelers endured great
hardships and many
unhappy days. The slow
middle section of Gateway
West, with its minor
tonality and lyrical
melodies, reflects that
part of the long,
perilous journey.
