A long, narrative poem about
Mount Monadnock, a mountain
that is small in stature but big
in the hearts of those who live near it
and who recognize its mystical powers. Monadnock rivals Mt. Fuji as the
“most climbed mountain in the world,”
and has been worshiped by artists,
painters and writers since the area
was settled. This poem is the result
of a collaboration between Edie and
composer Larry Siegel. Together, they
created a musical work that arises
from and reflects a love of the mountain
and the Monadnock Region.
This work, which is the narrative
portion of the musical work, features
nine individual poems, and is
a celebration of the mountain,
a place known to Ralph Waldo
Emerson as “Cheshire’s haughty hill”
and to countless others as home. |
