Wilderness Scenes (from The Journal of Discovery) - Michael Sweeney

This work dramatically depicts moods and images from the historic Lewis & Clark Expedition two hundred years ago. As their corps of discovery encountered wilderness, mountains and native peoples, journals were meticulously kept documenting their adventures for all time. Movements include: St. Charles, To the Unknown, Mandan Village, Reflection and The Bitterroots. The score features historical notes and performance options for shorter versions. (8:00)
