Les trois soeurs (2006) for alto saxophone and guitar by Charles Stolte (b.1969)

I. Water
II. Air
III. Rock

Les trois soeurs was commissioned by Duo Montagnard to suggest a mountain theme, according to the name of this exceptional duo. Les trois soeurs are a famous group of three beautiful mountains in the Rocky Mountain Range near Canmore, Alberta, Canada.

The three movements reflect the fundamental elements of these mountains:
The first movement splashes through and out of its path.
The second movement reflects the notion that the overwhelming mass of a mountain makes the human insignificant, creating a beautiful sort of death.
The third movement is hard and crashes down, obliterating what is in its path.
