Journey started out as a song with words, but was re-envisioned as a piece for saxophone and piano. As the original poem was about a slave mother’s harsh reality traveling on a slave boat from Africa, I felt the timbre of the saxophone perfectly captured the sorrow of the original words.

Journey started out as a song. Due to a misunderstanding with the poet, permission to set the poem was withdrawn. I then reworked the song as a solo for saxophone and piano, and later for violin and piano. The poem was about a slave mother's harsh reality as she traveled on a slave boat from Africa.

Journey started out as a song with words, but was first re-envisioned as a piece for saxophone and piano, and now exists with versions for violin and flute as well.
As the original poem was about a slave mother’s harsh reality traveling on a slave boat from Africa, I felt the nature of the melody captured the sorrow of the original words.
