The “Crystal Hill” is the nickname for New Hampshire’s Mount Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern USA. Its weather is notoriously fickle, and the world’s highest wind speed of 231 m.p.h. was recorded there in 1934. Composer Brad Ciechomski paints a vivid portrait characterizing a climb up the mountain. Soaring melodies and exuberant rhythms depict and intrepid trek. Wind sound effects enhance the performance.
