II. Idyll: The Eastern Sierra (Reflectively, with Ebb and Flow) 


This is a musical reflection of my "Spring Break" trips to the Eastern Sierra to do a little Fly Fishing. They are certainly a majestic mountain range in the middle of California.

​

The opening section recalls the "Quintal" Chord and pulsing timpani part I discovered when McBeth brought his copy of the score of Howard Hanson's "Lament for Beowulf" to class and handed it to me to study.
