Description:
The hamlet Oturehua in the 'Ida Valley' on the south island of New Zealand was called Rough Ridge until 1907. When visiting the south island the composer walked in the area and concluded that the name Rough Ridge was perfect for this wild piece of nature. It inspired him to write this composition, which boasts alternating styles. Since the area also looks a bit like the wild western coast of Ireland, you can also hear an Irish tune at the end of the composition.
