Additional Photos:
Composer: Sally Lamb McCune
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 5
The piece was originally inspired by David Shumate's poem, "High Water Mark" (2004). The depiction of a great flood, the water rising to record heights, all manner of things being carried away with the current, and the indelible impression such an event leaves on those who live through it, got me thinking musically.
Although the piece was percolating for some time, High Water Rising was begun in June 2017, shortly after the US withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement. The agreement, signed by 195 nations, was an attempt to bind the world community in battling rising temperatures. The US is the 2nd largest polluter in the world. - Sally Lamb McCune
