Description:
For many years I have been touched by the work of the naturalistic, Scottish-American writer John Muir (1838-1914). As one who has hiked over the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California with bag and baggage, I have strong affinities with his naturalistic texts, observations and environmental concerns. The texts chosen for the six different movements are taken from Muir's writings between 1863 and 1875, and in setting them to music I have tried to capture Muir's amazement at the beauty and wonder of these high mountains. The music is basically cheerful and tonal, the most important being the final movement with its question about the role of man in the fate of the mountains. The work begins and ends with a trumpet solo from behind the stage, sounding like a voice from the wilds of nature; the final solo ends with a question without an answer.
