This symphonic work was co-commissioned by the North State Symphony and Lassen Volcanic National Park through the park's Artist-in-Residence program. The work depicts an introspective stroll through a serene forest, an unnerving encounter with the park's many hydrothermal features (which I recorded during my time in the park), a cataclysmic eruption, and finally a reflection on the inevitability of both destruction and renewal.
