Fog of the Earth
for string orchestra
Duration: c. 4' October 2013 Perusal score, first two pages (viewable, not printable)
Premiered October 28, 2013 Britton Hall, Ann Arbor, MI Program note by the composer- Fog of the Earth is jointly inspired by the poetry of Thoreau and by the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. I vividly remember stepping my feet into the cold waters of a mountain river, and becoming filled with the beauty of the thick air surrounding me. All the while, the words of Thoreau floated around the banks, perfectly encapsulating the brisk river meeting the cool air. The words and the river blended together in delicate harmony. I aimed to recreate this through my music. Fog, by Henry David Thoreau |
