Before, and often during, my writing of this piece I poured over photographs of New Mexico's high desert areas, many that really embody the classic notion we have of \"the west\" (see below). The first movement, Sundown, attempts to accompany a classic western sunset. The second movement, Sunup-High Noon, opens with muted trumpets heralding the morning light. Before long we're off on the days adventure. The urgency of the mornings ride eventually slows as we ride into a ghost town and hear 12 ominous bell tolls signaling High Noon. The trumpets begin a duel in what is a tip of the hat to western master Ennio Morricone. After reaching it's climax we're off again to the rousing conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kevin McKee Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68058224230479,"sku":"KMC100107","price":42.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/8a8faa61900bdb811087bab02f197c93.avif?v=1793995907","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/es\/products\/mckee-under-western-skies-mckee","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
