Certain things in life can only be expressed by a rhapsody. This time of year the blooms everywhere come to mind. The lower elevations of our Rocky Mountains are coming alive with wildflowers. My piano composition Wildflower Rhapsody is a tribute to them. Listen and you might imagine a multitude of colors dancing in the breeze. There is something beautiful in every season here in the Denver area but no season is quite so deserving of a rhapsody as spring.
