Programme Note

This tone poem, along with Far Calling, was composed to evoke the Rocky Mountains – as seen from the vantage point of Canmore, Alberta. Far Calling includes parts for mixed voices SATB sung to the sound of ‘Ah’. The works honour Canada’s magnificent beauty and its vast open, unspoiled places – truly a garden of Eden.
