It was here that the composer spent many summers and it was those memories that allowedthe Anishinaabeg Rhapsody to come into being.This particular composition is a symphonic tone poem which, unlike the majority of orchestral music which is able to standalone as pure musical thought, evokes historic, pictorial or literary subject matter. In other words, the composer paintsimages and thoughts through sound.The Anishinaabeg Rhapsody, which is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 3 clarinets in Bb, 2 bassoons, 4 horns andstrings, conjures images of the wind gently blowing through the pines, the purling of meandering streams, the rippling andwaving of grasslands, the thunderous waterfalls crashing hundreds of feet over cliffs into Lake Superior; in short, it portraysNature itself.
