Seven Summits

The Seven Summits are the highest mountains on each of the seven continents. This piece explores the rush of adrenaline, the pounding of the heart, and the sheer joy of being one with nature that goes with conquering the summit. The middle slower section represents the pitfalls and difficulties of climbing the mountains, demonstrated by the several accidentals and mature chordal progressions. Finally, the end brings the climber's triumphant return to base camp. Powerful!
