The Music
Violin Sonata NO. 2 Going to the Sun
Written for violin and piano, approx. 20 minutes in duration, audio featuring Vanessa Porter and Gregory Martin. Here are the composer’s notes on his piece and his home state of Montana, “This sonata is a very accessible, single movement, 13 episode piece that uses as a framing device the beautiful scenic elements of the park that are close to, viewed from, or a short walk away from the marvelous roadway called the Going to the Sun highway. My hope is that the music reflects at least some of the beauty of this part of Montana with it’s clear stumbling streams, cloud crowned mountains, green forests, red and grey rocks, multi-colored meadows of flowers, and it’s calm, cold lakes. “

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and their storms the energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." - John Muir
