Music: Scumble River Portrait by David Stybr
1. Scumble River Legend, a Ballad for Small Orchestra (1 minute). How many book series have their own signature music? It's quirky, but so is Scumble River, Illinois.
2. Lazy River Waltz, for Woodwind Quartet and Piano (1¼ minutes). The Sun dawns on another slightly out-of-kilter day in Scumble River, Illinois.
3. Rolling River Rag, for Piano (4 minutes). Rags were inspired by the Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and now Scumble River too.
