Commissioned by Third Angle New Music Ensemble to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. Broken into three movements, the piece concentrates on the physical elements that tie it together – the mountains, sky and water and the color blue.
I. Mountain
II. Sky
III. Water
The mountains appear blue on the horizon; the blue sky morphs during the day and night; glacial ice appears blue because the dense compacted ice of the glacier absorbs all colors except blue. Its disparate elements are unified in an amazing landscape. Duration ~ 17 minutes. Professional.
