Six rags for solo piano, each sprung from a natural New England landmark. The first three movements come from the Mahoosuc Mountains, which range from New Hampshire to Maine and overlaps part of the Appalachian Trail. The latter three rags celebrate the geography of Western Massachusetts.

“The sense of the various locations provides the main tissue of each piece, with ragtime music woven into the fabric, sometimes generating notes used at large; sometimes self-contained. This music stands for the human beholder in nature.”
-Lewis Spratlan
