Program Notes
The Alabama Hills, located off Highway 395 in the Owens Valley of Central California near Lone Pine, are known for their hills and unique rock formations. Situated along the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountain range, this area has been the site of many Western films. The Alabama Hills are a historic place for camping and fishing along the Owens River.
This work for String Orchestra was composed to capture the moods of the scenic beauty and the rough, rugged landscape of the Old West.
Alabama Hills is a gift to my friend, colleague, and fellow outdoorsman, Matt Rohrs. Matt is the Band and Orchestra Director at La Serna High School in Whittier, Ca.
