Sonoran Desert Holiday [Alf:36-10100337]

Concluding the series of exciting overtures begun in 1953 with his extremely successful Savannah River Holiday, this entry also evokes pleasant images and allusions, this time of night, sunrises, native Americans, Hispanic influences, and wide open southwestern spaces. Ron Nelson is a master of the writing craft and provides a solid technical workout and a musically rewarding conclusion for performers and audiences alike.
