Eiger - James Swearingen (with Score)

Heroic themes abound as noted composer James Swearingen weaves a tapestry of musical styles to depict the emotional story of John Harlin. At the age of nine, John lost his father when he tragically fell 4000 ft. to his death while attempting to climb the mountain known as Eiger (pronounced eye-ger). The Eiger North Face is considered to be the most treacherous climb in all of Europe. Yet, forty years later John, with a burning desire to reconnect with his father, began the perilous journey of climbing the mountain with the nearly impossible goal of reaching the summit. Brilliantly scored, simply stunning and beautifully breathtaking!
Performed by the Washington Winds under the direction of Edward S. Petersen.

I played this piece in 7th grade. It was very difficult and intimidating to learn a 3.5 level band piece in less than a year. (This was my 3rd year playing band, I was first chair clarinet.)
