2014 025 MI Quincy Mine 9 Ruins DS 2017

Dramatic and colorful, this piece (which features a trumpet soloist with flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, and piano) will add a distinctive flare to any performance occasion. The industrial structures of the Quincy Mine have loomed over Michigan’s Copper Country since 1846 – imposing, evocative, even hauntingly beautiful, especially as the sun sets on the otherwise pristine rural landscape. The machines have been silent for decades now but the edifices remain as a sort of memorial. I have endeavored to reflect in my music the unusual, poignant beauty of this place.
