CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Inspired by countless rides through the Yellowstone backcountry, Jett Hitt's Yellowstone for Violin and Orchestra is destined to become a classic. It could have only been written by someone who lives Yellowstone, and Jett Hitt has ridden horseback through more than 1,200 miles of Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres. In the words of the Yellowstone Park historian, Dr. Lee Whittlesey, "It is Yellowstone." Similar CDs

CD ReviewsPossibly the Best Music Ever Composed by an American Nicholas A. Trandem | Pittsburgh, PA USA | 09/21/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm not very fond of American composers. Or modern composers of any country, for that matter. Works based on folk melodies are fine, as far as they go, but most American concert and chamber pieces don't tickle my ear. That's why this work astonishes and impresses me so much. I walked into the Mammoth Hot Springs gift shop two years ago (yeah, I should have written this review earlier, but hey, I'm lazy) and immediately noticed the music they were playing. It was outstanding. I was about to ask one of the clerks what was playing when I noticed a cowboy sitting at a small table in the corner of the store. He had a pile of CDs next to him and a sign identifying him as the composer of the music that was playing, Mr. Jett Hitt. He was very friendly, and after chatting a bit, he graciously inscribed our copy to our then-one-year-old son. We listened to the disk exclusively for the rest of our trip, and it has remained a favorite ever since. I would contend that the music will satisfy the listener even if he has never seen the wondrous National Park that inspired it. I have found, however, that the music is incredibly adept at summoning up images and remembrances of the Park, especially those places that inspired the movements. It is my hope that this music, and its composer, will rise to the greater prominence that they deserve." Delightfully melodic and expressive Nicholas A. Trandem | 08/14/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "How can a piece of music be so evocative of a place so diverse and amazing? This piece is extremely expressive not only of the beauties of the park but of the west in general. Where did melody go in modern classical music? It's right here." One of the Most Stirring Pieces I've ever Heard J. Dioletto | Newark, CA USA | 10/12/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Heard the finale on the radio and decided immediately I had to own this. Part western, part eastern, part modern, but mostly classical--it stirs up images and feelings that are beyond words. From expansive plains to the grand mountains, soft fields and calm waters...ahhh! Close your eyes and let the music take you to your inner realms. The music touches the soul."
