Jefferson Forest Sketches is a programmatic work depicting the beauty and grandeur of the Jefferson National Forest along the Appalachian Mountains. From dawn breaking over the mountains, to breathtaking panoramas, to a seemingly endless expanse of wilderness, composer Michael Oare takes us through a variety of scenes and moods. The piece concludes with a lively tribute to the reels and dance tunes common to the area in the colonial period.
