Includes seating and performance instructions. With program and biographical notes. Full Score; 28 cm; 146 pages; Spiral '... the music moves across its vast duration with an untroubled serenity. Shifting clusters in the vibratoless string orchestra form the cushion over which the trio and the quartet solo. The trio plays arpeggiated figures that evoke bells of various sorts. The string quartet has virtually all the melodies in the work, which are inevitably slow moving and somewhat yearningly lovely...' - John Story, Fanfare '... a highly intellectual and deeply sensual work... The mix of beauty and brutality correctly reflects the northern landscape the work depicts... the aching tension, unease and sense of danger that laces through its sonorities.' - Mike Dunham, Anchorage Daily News 'Although profoundly inspired and awed by nature, Adams' music transcends the objective presence of place and time.' - Star's End
