Niagara Falls

Item Number: HL.228903

9x12 inches.

(1997)

Daugherty's first work for symphonic band, Niagara Falls became an instant classic upon its premiere by the University of Michigan Symphony Band conducted by H. Robert Reynolds in 1997. Niagara Falls has been played by high school, university and professional wind ensembles all over the world, and was featured in a highly acclaimed 2006 PBS documentary on the Falls. Inspired by the falls separating Canada and the United States, this composition is another souvenir from Daugherty: a ten-minute musical ride over the Niagara River with an occasional stop at a haunted house or wax museum along the way.
