Farthest South

One of a planned series of tone poems titled Cabinet of Curiosities, inspired by fantastic tales of curious natural specimens, archeological artifacts, and unique artworks that may or may not have any basis in reality. This piece is inpired by an awesome sight on Ernest Shackleton's Nimrod Expedition to Antarctica of 1907–09 which came within 112 miles of the South Pole – the farthest south reached at that time. Orchestral performance parts are available via rental from the publisher.
