Mountains (from "Oregon Suite") (2024)
Jazz Ensemble
Commissioned by the Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts and Oregon State University; Peter Betjemann, Executive Director
Grade 6
“Mountains” has two distinct sections: the first half is Delbert Anderson’s “Narbona,” specifically requested by the commissioners, rearranged for this unique instrumentation; the second half is a primitive, almost barbaric groove that steadily builds in complexity and tempo, before fusing with the themes of “Narbona” in a mysterious conclusion.
