Program Notes:
Skagway Heights, for piano, violin, and cello trio, is a piece I was encouraged to write in the first semester of my sophomore year of college. Having taken a trip to southeast Alaska the summer prior, I was awestruck by the overwhelming natural and historical beauty of the land, and I felt called to capture this beauty in my music. Having spent some time admiring and learning about the history of Skagway and the Klondike gold rush, this became the focus of my new work, aptly titled Skagway Heights. This piece seeks to recount a prospector’s journey to and through the mad Klondike gold rush, and makes use of a wide variety of modes and key centers to portray the many highs and lows of this journey. In three movements, I aim to provide insight into what drives humans to undertake such ludicrous feats, and why the Klondike gold rush is so meaningful in American history.
