Description:
This piece reflects the beauty and wonder of the amazing landscape of Upper Michigan's famed Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It focuses musically on legato, connected bowing throughout and rhythmic precision, especially on the sixteenth and thirty-second notes. Bring out the dynamic contrasts and swells for a dramatic effect. In the sections where the accompanimental texture is thick, there is an opportunity to learn balance that will help bring out the melody.
