This is a superb piece off arranging, instrumentation and dynamics. I love in initial Big Country Copeland style big galloping percussion, high flutes and that mix of violins and trumpets but also fanfare in the French Horn and flute. This helps create that perfect western, native American/ civil war feel with that singe Flugel Horn I believe trumpets in the break added wonderfully to the feel and visuality of the piece.very emotive, heroic and patriotic superb ending, excellent use of contrapuntal melodies. The horns are particularly, I love the thread of the piece also, I was in the place with that mountain in Maine, I was a cowboy, I was an indian, I was in the mountains and canyons.
A really excellent piece of work.
