Description:
The folk song Ten Thousand Miles, also known as The Turtle Dove, captures the essence of the Aeolion mode in a warm, somber, yet flowing melodic line. Appearing in numerous versions, the song is a musical gem that has been passed down in various forms from one folk singer to another. The song may have originated as a 17th century broadside; though many well-known composers have used it as inspiration, this version for band is completely fresh in conception.
