Greek mythology seems spontaneously to have offered the figure of linos as the central character in a work for solo harp. (Linos was a poet, believed to be the brother of Orpheus, and according to Greek tradition no greater musician ever appeared among mankind.) The musical material, conforming to the characteristics of the harp, consits of two interesting seven-degree note rows incorporating all the possible pedal combinations, their mirror inversions and the five-degree noterows that fit between them. The nine-section composition is made up of scenes from the imagined life of Linos, an imagined 'Linos's hymn', and laments played in his honour.

Shadowy lines traced in fading colors suggest a mountain range in silhouette against the night sky in this mesmerizing and poetic miniature for solo harp. The composer takes the instrument’s full range as her canvas, carrying the listener’s imagination from distant peaks to shrouded foothills. Particularly memorable is a recurring tremolo motifxa0 played with a wooden drumstick on the instrument’s lowest strings. DARK MOUNTAINS is artistically refined, but not virtuosic, making it a novel and approachable addition to the repertoire for developing and professional harpists alike.
