Pinyon Mountain Trail

Pinyon Mountain Trail references the Pinyon Pine tree, which is indigenous to the southwestern parts of America. This piece was written in the summer of 2020 when many families could not travel and explore the great outdoors. It takes the performer and listener on a trip up a pine-lined trail to enjoy the fresh air, pine scent, and scenery. All sections of the orchestra join in the brief adventure and arrive safely home in the end.
