Lake Superior Suite is a five-movement piece for wind band, inspired by the landscapes of five provincial and national parks on the north shore of Lake Superior. The piece was conceptualized during camping trips at each of the parks, and was finalized during the 150th anniversary of Canada’s confederation. The creation of this work was intended, in part, to expose listeners and performers to local natural wonders through music.
4. Neys Provincial Park, a former WWII prisoner of war camp and processing camp for interned Japanese-Canadians, has a somewhat dark history. Much of the natural growth forest was cut down to build the POW camp, and trees were later re-planted in rows. Slow and steady melodic fragments represent the solemn voices of this beautiful but remote location, while the gradual build toward the climax evokes feelings of destruction, anguish, and yearning for peace. Neys is dedicated with love to the composer’s grandparents.
