The musical ideas in this three-movement suite were inspired by the landscapes I experienced during my visits to this incredible place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first movement represents the drive through the valley and up into the Cascade mountain range, where the roads are full of twists and turns and elevation changes. Despite the ups and downs of the land itself, the drive is smooth and offers sweeping vistas and seemingly never-ending waves of trees down below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second movement reflects on the devastating effects of wildfires caused by climate change. Driving through the valley, it is easy to see the areas that have been damaged and, in some cases, completely burned to the ground because of uncontrollable forest fires. The water level of the reservoir I visited was at less than 10%. The long-lasting implications of this kind of environmental change moved me to tears and inspired this tender, emotionally-charged music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, the third movement offers a playful, quirky finale to the suite, depicting the abundance of adventure to be found in the Rogue Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44314196672591,"sku":"161-011-SP","price":60.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/6599012089626c599dc5db7222e91f1e.webp?v=1767739264","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/ja\/products\/nishimura-valley-views-just-theory","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
