Route 66: Time Machine / Ghost Ranch / Sunset

This recording is a musical road trip
from the unique creative world of
Michael Daugherty, one of America's
most performed composers, and the
visionary conductor Marin Alsop, who
has championed his music for over 20
years. The music takes off with Route
66, a high-octane nostalgic drive from
Illinois to California through 'Main
Street America', as seen through
Daugherty's rear view mirror. Along
the way, we stop at Ghost Ranch, where Georgia O' Keeffe created her brilliant paintings inspired by the open skies and bone-parched earth of New Mexico. Arriving in Los Angeles, Daugherty takes us for a tuneful spin down Sunset Strip where anything can happen, and it usually does. Our journey concludes as we travel into the fourth dimension with Time Machine, an adventure in rhythm, sound and space for three conductors and orchestra.
