PROGRAM NOTE

EVEREST is named after the tallest mountain on the planet. Although the sharp rising figures in the first half of the piece are reminiscent of steep cliffs, the piece is not meant to represent the mountain itself. Instead, it is intended to serve as a metaphor for a monumental obstacle encountered in life. The rising figures in the movement eventually transform into descending ones, reflecting how a person who overcomes a significant challenge emerges on the other side transformed by the experience.

Written originally for pianist Monika Haar, EVEREST was transcribed for Ensemble Dal Niente and their residency at the USC Thornton School of Music in October, 2016.
