Secret Valley

In the Mississippi River valley, portions of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois lie in a "driftless" region bypassed by ancient glaciers. The resulting scenic beauty is characterized by magnificent rocky bluffs, steep ravines, and forested hills. Explore a winding road through the misty bluffs, an unexpected forested valley, a grand view of the mighty river, or a surprising burst of foliage on a crisp autumn day on this musical journey. The piece uses inventive textures and striking effects to help your imagination run wild. (c. 5:15)
