about

Gigue aux chalumeaux (Nathan Smith) / The Heron's Rookery (Nathan Smith)

Paddling up the Rideau Canal in the spring, it seemed like with every bend in the river we came upon another great blue heron taking flight. These birds are a majestic and elegant picture of Ontario waterways.
I wrote the first tune for John, to celebrate the addition of a brash and boisterous québécois accordion to his instrument collection.
