A superb Robert W. Smith creation built on the foundation of the Ionian mode. A wonderful opportunity to teach the history of this mode through performance literature. As the title implies, the melodic content flows throughout the work. It's warm and rich with a driving pulse -- you can't go wrong with this one. (1:57)
