Virtually
all my recent music has
been composed of four,
five or six simultaneous
tempo layers. If those
ensemble and orchestral
pieces are
multi-dimensional
sculptures, then Among
Red Mountains is more
like a drawing. In this
piece, the challenge I
set for myself was to
suggest five independent
tempo planes, within the
limitations of two hands
and what Vicki Ray calls
'the Big Black Box'. For
three decades I've
admired the Piano music
of Peter Garland. At last
I have a piece that I
hope is worthy of this
dedication. The title,
Among Red Mountains, is
the translation of the
Gwitch'in Athabascan name
for a place in the Brooks
Range, north of Arctic
Village.'- John Luther
Adams.
