According to American composer Matthew Jackert (born 1988) "The Sea of Mountains refers to an experience I had flying over the Appalachians. It wasn't the first flight I've taken over them, or even a particularly interesting one, but it was the first time I noticed the mountains looking like waves of an ocean forming through time on the slowest of scales."
GREATER MIAMI SYMPHONIC BAND, with great pride, presents this magnificent and exciting performance of THE SEA OF MOUNTAINS by MATTHEW JACKFERT.
