Earth and Sky, a triple concerto for Violin, Viola, Cello and Chamber Orchestra, has been commissioned by the string trio ensemble, Musical Harmonia (Joan Griffing, Violin; Diane Phoenix-Neal, Viola; Beth Vanderborgh, Cello). These musicians have performed together for many years. Truly, they display a "Oneness" and a "Harmony" in their playing.
The work is inspired by the writings of Chief Seattle (Suquamish), Chief Joseph (Nez Perce), and Henry David Thoreau.
Extended notes along with the complete readings (texts) may be viewed in the front matter of the score using the link above.
