Thinking Like a Mountain
Victoria Bond
About this work:
Using Aldo Leopold's powerful essay as the text, this work dramatizes an incident in his life where the shooting of wolves initiates an epiphany and leads to a new awareness of the role wolves and other predators play in the life of a mountain. An ideal work for Earth Day or any concert with an environmental theme. "The music itself was as enchanting and magical and moody as the animal for which it was written." The Billings Gazette.
