Notes
Paul Halley writes: I wrote Montana with the image of Rhonda Larson playing her flute in the meadows and mountains around her home near Bozeman. I recall her story of practicing on top of the mountain ridge behind her house, when a mother bear with cubs came running up one side to see what in the world was going on. The bear stood on its hind legs and peered around a tree, desperately trying to figure out what this strange and high-voiced creature might be. After a while, the bear left.
I wanted this piece to express the inner qualities of those majestic mountainscapes of openness, spaciousness and simplicity, and for the alpine flute to be heard "singing" the melody as if from a distant peak.
