Where Mountains Touch the Sky - Bassoon

With sensitive scoring and use of colors and textures, this descriptive piece sounds more advanced and sophisticated than its grade level would suggest. "Where Mountains Touch the Sky" is a tone poem inspired by springtime in the alpine meadows of British Columbia. While the lofty peaks are still covered with snow, the rivers are flowing and the meadows are coming alive with wildflowers. This lyrical work begins quietly and peacefully, building steadily to a soaring climax before returning to a soft and reverent conclusion. Dur: 3:00
