Program Notes
Jessie's Well is a simple story that comes from the pure heart of a young child, immersed in her love for her daddy and overjoyed at the peace he has found. The melody is Jessie's story, incomplete at times, like the simple wandering of a child. It is Jessie wandering, singing and not finishing the song, as a child often does. The melody drifts in and out but comes back to be completed, like it had never been the intention to leave it incomplete.
