Suttons Bay

Suttons Bay is a piece inspired by the joys of summer vacation! The opening melody and several rhythmic ideas came to me while my wife and I were riding bicycles near the coast of Lake Michigan. The trail we were riding goes from Traverse City, The Cherry Capital of the World, to Suttons Bay, a beautiful, coastal village. With its chanty-like melodies and bouncing rhythms, you are invited to take this journey to Suttons Bay!
