No Stopping, Standing, or Parking

Neil Thornock composer

NO STOPPING, STANDING, OR PARKING features the works of Utah-based composer Neil Thornock and performances by the United States Coast Guard Saxophone Quartet, the Upland Chamber Ensemble, and Amanda Baker. Thornock’s compositions draw from a variety of inspirations, from the urgency of highway travel to the hip, angular imagery of Gertrude Stein. These works for saxophones, keyboards and flute express music’s potential to create order and urge the listener to enjoy life.
