The Hovhaness piece I played with orchestra. It is a peaceful and
pretty piece. I enjoyed listening to our oboist.
Mysterious Mountain - Andante con moto

I imagine a bit of an angelic choir around 1:40
Double fugue

Andante Espressivo:

I suppose espressivo refers to the tension in this movement? The wind
section at 2:43 sounds melancholy.
It has been a long time since I have listened to it.

Mt. St Helens blew up about the time I was born.
Hovhaness comments in the second part that critics' comments can be
mental fleas; the characterization brings to mind mind worms and ear
worms, which his music isn't.
I see what Kevin Fay means that Hovhaness likes mountains.
It is living music.
