“Lodore” is an abstract musical sculpture for 18 string players (4, 4, 4, 4, 2) that recalls the shapes of the Green River cutting through the Uintah mountains in Dinosaur National Monument in Northwestern Colorado. The piece reflects how the river’s rapids, still waters, riffles, whirlpools, and eddies perpetually flow, constantly repeat, and unpredictably change. The river’s canyon was first traversed by fur traders in 1825. John Wesley Powell’s 1869 expedition named the canyon’s entrance the Gates of Lodore after the 1820 poem, “The Cataract of Lodore,” by Robert Southey. Powell also named many of the canyon’s features: Disaster Falls, Triplet Falls, Hell’s Half Mile, Whirlpool Canyon and Split Mountain Canyon.
