Santa Fe Trail Echoes : Image Music Viii
Greg A. Steinke
About this work:
SANTA FE TRAIL ECHOES has been written especially for tonight’s program. It resulted from a perusal of Ms. Myer’s photography book, ALONG THE Santa Fe Trail and resultant discussions I have had with her con¬cerning the connection it had with the photography she ultimately did of Japanese/American Internment Camp sites (used in CONCENTRATED IMAGES) wherein I found that the Amache, Colorado site was very near Iron Springs Stage Station, one of the photographs in the Santa Fe book. It was also during her travels making the photographs for the Santa Fe book that she accidentally came across one of the internment camp sites in Col¬orado (Amache) and subsequently decided to make photographs of the remnants of as many camps as she could. So this piece for solo viola is a way of honoring her other photographic work and reflecting upon those images. The work is dedicated to Ms. Myers.
