Opening with bold sounds and powerful melodies, this work depicts the eruption of the volcano Mazama. The imposing mountain peak erupted more than 7000 years ago in what is now southwestern Oregon and became the serene present-day Crater Lake. The intensity builds as the volcano prepares to blow its top. An easy six-bar aleatoric section represents the settling dust. A calm chorale then leads to the exciting final strains in this impressive piece for young players! Music Works. (1 Score and 67 pts. and 1 CD).
