A passion of mine is the history of American concert music. A notable figure in that history is William Henry Fry, whose opera, Leonora, was the first opera written by an American to be performed. He sent the score to a Parisian opera company in hopes that it would be produced there. It was reject on sight, because Europeans at the time thought that no art of consequence could come from the land of steam engines. Fry replied "Although we had excelled in making electric telegraphs to carry ideas without persons, it was not a necessary consequence that we build railroads to carry persons without ideas."
The principal idea of Railroads to Carry is that of movement or travel, and how that can effect ideas. The piece gains and looses energy but continually moves though time. While I make no allusions to Fry or his music, I hope that I am still proving him right.
