Night Highway
Night Highway
Kelly, Nicholas Ryan
Night Highway was inspired by the composer's many late-night journeys along British Columbia's precarious mountain highways. The music captures both the restless energy of vehicles in motion and the strange melancholy of traveling alone late at night, with the mountains looming above and the lights of Vancouver gleaming far below.
