Programme Note
William Himes’ Confluence was commissioned by the River City Brass Band for a series of concerts entitled Always a River, dedicated to the musical heritage of the American states linked by the Ohio River: Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois (the state where William Himes resides).

The title relates to the fact that the Ohio River is created by the confluence of two rivers—the Allegheny and the Monongahela—at Pittsburgh, the home of the River City Brass Band. The piece was performed for the first time during April 1991 by the River City Brass Band conducted by Robert Bernat at concert sites in and around Pittsburgh.
