Publisher Desc.  Driven by a refreshing text of American naturalist John Muir, Bartholomew has created an accessible work that flows easily through both key and meter changes It features expressive, lyric melodies contrasted by an exciting rhythmic drive. "Song of the Mountains" is almost cantata-like, or through-composed, in that each line of Muir's text receives equal and interesting interpretation. Effective use of dynamics and interweaving of choral parts make for each section having a musical life of its own. Duration: Approximately 6:00.
