“…we should spend a few nights camping within earshot of rustling cottonwoods, get out of the twenty-first century culture which envelops us, and allow romantic imagination to run a little wild. We camp in places like Palo Duro Canyon to simplify our lives and get some perspective on our life situations.” ~ Duane F. Guy, The story of Palo Duro Canyon

“I wanted the piece … to conjure up an intuitive awareness of the long movements of time required for the creation of a canyon. I also wanted in some way to pay homage to Native Americans, to whom this canyon was a sacred place. And I wanted to capture in music that magical moment which everyone experiences when they first see the flat, treeless High Plains fall dizzyingly away into the colorful vastness of the Palo Duro Canyon itself.” Composer Samuel Jones, Notes to Symphony No. 3 (“Palo Duro Canyon”).
