Composed by Paula M. Kimper (b. 1956), the performance was at Ives Concert Hall at WestConn.
Kimper and Steven Michael Smith, music director and conductor of the Danbury Community Orchestra, nearly brought the house down in their collaboration. Kimper had been working closely with Smith and the orchestra earlier in the week, fine tuning the suite which was derived in part from her opera. Kimper's composition was based on Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize winning novel set in the Peruvian Andes, involving a quest for meaning in the lives and deaths of people who perished when a rope bridge they were crossing failed.
(In an interesting coincidence, on Tuesday The New York Times featured an article about similar suspension bridges, citing Wilder's book.) The wind chimes and flutes playing against droning strings created a sense of high altitude eeriness in the opening bars, with trumpets building up to the snapping cables and perilous descent. The solemn story unfolded with melodic majesty through the use of interesting orchestration including piano, woodwinds, and percussion.
Emotional and evocative, the suite blended Spanish flavors with diverse thematic imagery. The overall effect was spellbinding.
