In1896 an historic ascent on Mount Rainier, Washington, was made by the first-ever Pacific Lutheran University band, led by its founder and director, Carlo A. Sperati. They trekked with their instruments to the 10,000 foot level of Camp Muir where, standing in awe of nature's realm, they played Martin Luther's best-loved hymn, "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." The present work for modern symphonic wind ensemble memorializes that event in three connected scenes: the determined ascent, the awe-struck arrival and wonder, and the ensuing joyful celebration. Written in 2017 at the invitation of Dr. Edwin Powell, then director of the Pacific Lutheran University Wind Ensemble, it was premiered by them in 2018 at PLU and repeated a week later at the College Band Directors National Association, Western Division Conference at Sonoma State University, California. Total duration approximately 13 minutes.
