Spirited of the
Land, the first of this
four movement
programmatic work, is
inspired by the 1914
painting by Charles
Russell, When the Land
Belonged to God, and the
composer's travel in the
west. A Frontier Lawman,
vividly depicts the
swagger and demeanor of
legendary lawman,
Nathaniel Kimball
Boswell. Cowboy
Meditation, the third
movement of West!,
captures the spirit of
the solitary life of the
cowboy on the plains -
his thoughts and the
calls of the wild
surrounding him. Railtown
Jubilee, brings West! to
a close representing the
dramatic impact the
railroad had on the West.
Use this as an
opportunity for making
interdisciplinary
connections.
