The Way Through

Published on Nov 17, 2020

“The Way Through”, refers to the centuries old trail over the glacial ridge from the Skagit Valley into the Stehekin Valley in central Washinton. It's a formidable yet breathtaking landscape. At night, I was captivated by the brilliant night sky and the bright glow of the moon on Lake Chelan. I have never experienced anything like it. Interweaving the landscape with the homesteading community, I tried to capture their sense of unity in spite of differences, a way of seeing the world, a different sense of time, their reverence for the environment and respect for each other. To convey this cohesion I wove into my piece a favorite community song, “Will the Circle Be Unbroken?” by prolific gospel composer, Charles H. Gabriel in 1907. Duration ~ 8 minutes
