In 2014, I
enjoyed a wonderful
residence at the Ucross
Foundation in
Clearmont,
Wyoming.
Ucross is an artist
colony that gives
writers, composers, and
visual artists
the
gift of time,
space, and support to
follow their artistic
pursuits; we are provided
with
studio space,
housing, and meals so
that we can work
continuously on our
projects. I have
been
in residence at numerous
artist colonies; however,
nothing in my
previous
experiences
prepared me for living in
such isolated, wild
country. Ucross is
situated on
a
20,000-acre cattle
ranch at nearly 4,000
feet in elevation with
fewer than 150
people
living within
the town. But what
Clearmont lacks in
population, it makes up
for
abundantly and
spectacularly in
wilderness and wildlife.
I composed the sextet
Postcards
from Wyoming
to offer three glimpses
of what I found to be the
most striking aspects
of
my residence. The
Solitude of Stars, the
third and final movement
of the original
sextet,
was inspired
by the stunning nightly
display of the heavens
above. Without city
lights
dimming the
night sky, countless
stars shone brightly over
the vast expanse of the
prairie.
This edition
is part of The Solitude
of Stars Project that I
undertook during the
2020
COVID-19
pandemic, which consists
of a series of
arrangements that I made
for
colleagues and
friends.
