Search - Harrison Edwards :: Spirit of the Mountain

In this, his second CD release, Harrison Edwards has created a collection of songs, which capture the essence of the Hawk Mountain experience. As you stand on North Lookout, and gaze out over the breathtaking valley below, you can feel your connection with the majesty and beauty of nature. The sounds of echoing grand pianos, vibrant acoustic guitars, string sections, flutes, and a wide array of percussion connect the listener with the Spirit of the Mountain, inviting you to soar with the thousands of hawks and migratory raptors as they pass over Hawk Mountain each year during their fall migration. The sanctuary at Hawk Mountain in Kempton, Pennsylvania is the world?s most preeminent site for the study of migrating birds of prey. Through a series musical compositions, Harrison tells the story of Hawk Mountain from its beginning in the early 1900?s, to the impact of Rosalie Edge ? the founder of the sanctuary, and the arrival of Maurice and Irma Broun ? the original caretakers of the mountain. The CD continues its story with a journey from fall migration through the arrival of winter, and into the return of the raptors in the spring.
