This work is one of a number of compositions created this year in a partnership between the Friends of the McGaffin Carillon and the Cleveland Composers Guild. Members of the Guild are experimenting with writing for the carillon, many for the first time. The Cleveland Composers Guild receives support from and thanks the Bascom Little Fund, the Cleveland Foundation, Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, the Ohio Arts Council, and private donors.
