This work
presents the listener
with the wondrous
grandeur of one of the
great mountain ranges in
America, the Sierra
Nevada. When the music
begins, the listener is
greeted with the
awakening of an early
morning in the Sierras,
complete with a
mysterious, foggy mist
that creates a feeling of
complete stillness and
peace with the world. As
the mist slowly
dissipates, hidden forms
begin to make their
presence known and
gradually become a
tremendous panorama of
grand snow-covered
mountain peaks. Grandiose
and immense in all their
beauty and glory, they
stand before you with a
sense of undeniable
power, extending in all
directions as far as the
eye can see. Upon closer
inspection one can
imagine the circling
golden eagles, the regal
elk and royal stags, all
lazily wandering the
hills and canyons of
conifers that stand tall,
reaching for the passing
clouds in hopes of
gaining a few rays of
life-giving sunshine and
moisture. Look in another
direction and you will
see the immense rolling
hillsides of colourful
wild flowers, fluttering
butterflies, birds
darting about, sparkling
waterfalls and all
critters existing in
harmony. After the day's
activities the sun begins
to slip below the
horizon, the mist
returns, and all living
things prepare for
another still night of
sleep, serenity and the
warmth of their secure
bedding places.
