Take the Ribbons

Get ready for a wild ride with this work inspired by the story of the first female stagecoach driver for the famous Wells Fargo stage line. Her first time to "take the ribbons" or reins was at age 14, in a harrowing night run alone through dangerous and untamed country. The music is unrelenting in conveying the sense of a high-speed race, careening through the night with danger lurking around every bend. Absolutely breathtaking!
