Commissioned by M.U.S.i.C. — Stars in the Classics
Tales of Euclid Beach Park is my third work for the stupendous musicians of Stars in the Classics. This latest collaboration continues in the spirit of my earlier works by drawing on history for inspiration. Euclid Beach Park was an amusement park in Cleveland, Ohio that operated from 1895 to 1969, a total of 74 seasons. Under the direction of the entrepreneurial, popcorn-making Humphrey family, the park rose to fame as an exemplary amusement park complete with a massive dance pavilion, beach and pier, campgrounds, many rides, thrilling roller coasters, and legendary confections.
