Misc. Notes Trail of Tears stands as one of the more dramatic works in the collection. Through its distinctive instrumentation, it conveys deep emotional resonance and quiet dignity. The flute leads with a haunting melodic voice, answered by strings and guitar, while the tom-toms lend subtle rhythmic weight. The work balances sorrow with hope, reflection with resolve. Maintain expressive phrasing in the flute and violin; both should sing above the harmonic accompaniment. The tom-toms must be felt rather than heard—supportive and subdued. The piece benefits from spacious phrasing and reverent pacing. Trail of Tears is the sixth track on the Heart Strings CD
