Story behind the song
On September 25, Prof. Silveston invited Kimmy and me to canoeing on Grand River. That was our first experience to canoe. It was a gorgeous day: Clear sky, no wind and moderate temperature. We could enjoy three hours canoeing all the way. The water was smooth as a mirror, reflecting the beautiful autumn leaves in red and yellow. Many birds were seen: Blue herons on trees, larks in the sky and kingfishers across the river. We could hear only the birds’ carol and the river stream. The trip was perfect and I made the music for this trip. This piece was altered and entitled Music for Stillness: Part I in Mrs. Carol Hudgins’ performance.
