Northwoods: Of Might and Mettle

This is a musical depiction of the day of a lumberjack in the late 1800s during the great logging drives in Wisconsin. The work begins with “Daylight in the Swamp,” a mysterious setting reminiscent of the early morning conditions. It then transitions to “Waking the Camp” and develops to “Felling the Trees,” a very dynamic segment. “The Ice Breaks” and “On the River” draw the composition to a serious conclusion. A most creative work. This is Robert W. Smith at his very best. (6:46)
