Miriam Beatrice Hyde (15 January 1913 – 11 January 2005) was an Australian composer, classical pianist, music educator, and poet. She composed over 150 works for piano, 50 songs, other instrumental and orchestral works and performed as a concert pianist with eminent conductors including Sir Malcolm Sargent. The mood of this piece recalls the sunset grandeur of the Valley of Rocks, near Lynton, North Devon, England. The opening bars evoke the atmosphere of this coastal scene as night is falling. The landscape is timeless and brooding; the sea wrinkles to the horizon. Composed for solo piano in 1974, this arrangement is for advanced symphonic band and piano.
