Heron Over an Icy Pond, Roger Aldridge, Olney, Maryland
Mountaintop

Mountaintop expresses the joy of reaching a mountain summit or having other uplifting experiences in our lives. The tune is uptempo and has a soaring spirit. Its structure is AB-solos-BA-coda. Recorded by David Arivett, ensemble demo. 

Note: The chord changes in the A section are intended to occur as written in the second bar of the 3-bar phrases. In this way there is a harmonic shift under the tied quarter notes in the melody (4th beat of the first bar and 1st beat of the second bar).
