Program Notes
As I Gaze from the High Mountain is based on the 19th-century Japanese folk song “Takai-Yama”. This pentatonic tune, which was used by Giacomo Puccini in Madama Butterfly, sounds serious and dramatic, but supports a lyric that is anything but:
As I gaze from the high mountain
Into the valley below
(Look now!)
Cucumbers and eggplants are at their peak of blossoming.
