Joy Ride - for Solo Piano (World Premiere) by Robert Paterson Composer published on 2013-06-12T20:55:16Z Joy Ride for Solo Piano Duration: ca. 3' Winston Choi, piano Publisher: Bill Holab Music: http://www.billholabmusic.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_137&products_id=979 For more information: https://robertpaterson.com/joy-ride PROGRAM NOTES Joy Ride is inspired by the Ode to Joy theme from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It was written with a joyous spirit in mind, but it also has a gloomy middle section inspired by the usual meaning of the phrase ‘joy ride’ that refers to taking a fast, dangerous ride in a stolen vehicle. Joy Ride was written for the International Beethoven Project's First Beethoven Festival.
