“… and The Mountains Rising Nowhere” was written by Joseph Schwantner for Donald Hunsberger and the Eastman Wind Ensemble with the aid of a Composer Fellowship Grant awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts. It was based on a poem by Carol Adler. This and other pieces, including Rise by Adam Schoenberg, evoking complex imagery, intricate melodies and juxtapositions, fill this exciting Wind Ensemble performance.
