    By Keane Southard Program Notes

    An Appalachian Trail Symphony: New England (Symphony No. 1) by Keane Southard Program notes: An Appalachian Trail Symphony: New England (Symphony No. 1) for Orchestra was begun during my hike of the 734-mile New England portion of the Appalachian Trail (June 11, 2016-August 26, 2016) and completed in late March 2017. The symphony was commissioned by a consortium of orchestras throughout New England in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the completion of the trail, which stretches over approximately 2,200 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. I grew up in central Massachusetts, but a few years before I was born my father was a graduate student at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, through which the Appalachian Trail runs after it crosses the Connecticut River from Vermont into New Hampshire. (I actually composed the majority of the symphony in Hanover, with the AT lying only a few hundred feet away in the woods.) They loved living in New Hampshire, and when my siblings and I were young they took us on so many camping and weekend trips around New Hampshire and Vermont. These trips instilled in me a love of the outdoors and this region as well as made me aware of the AT itself. While we didn't do much hiking on those trips, I was captivated by the idea of one day hiking this legendary trail. When I later started to get serious about composing, I thought it would be wonderful to hike the trail and then write a piece of music about the experience some day.

    The Long Trail: Abbreviated

    The Long Trail: Abbreviated By: Aaron Shore 1950 LS10779_000 Purpose Hiking the Long Trail has been a dream of mine since I came to UVM four years ago. It is America’s oldest long-distance hiking trail, measuring 270 miles from Canada to Massachusetts. I created this scrapbook so others could share my experience, and learn the history of the trail. Enjoy. LS11220_000 Camel’s Hump, 1880 LS09840_000 Sunrise from Mansfield, 1875 I began my trip in southern Vermont with James Taylor and this image in mind. I wanted to be a part of the beauty that the Vermont landscape encompassed and was known for. James Taylor, a professor at the Vermont Academy, first conceived the trail in 1910. His goal was to “make the Vermont Mountains play a larger part in the life of the people.” LS12596_000 Camels Hump, 2004 Killington Peak, 1975 LS03624_000 A view from the top of Killington Peak. The reason James Taylor first conceived the Long Trail was because he couldn’t take his students into the wilderness without bushwhacking. He wanted to be able to travel from Killington Peak to Pico Peak, a short walk on a trail. During the first 10 days of my trip, I went from excited to dismal. I rarely saw anyone else on the trail and there were far more trees than mountain top views. I finally came across this nice women who told me about the Green Mountain Club (GMC).

    110 Woodhaven Place Oberlin, Ohio 44074 28 July 1989 End-to-End Committee Green Mountain Club 43 State Street, P.O. Box 889 Montpelier, Vermont 05602 Hello: I am surprised, as I review my memories of twenty-one years of backpacking, to find that I have taken only five hikes in Vermont. Somehow of all the states and all the trails and all the terrains I have hiked, it is the Green Mountains which are, to me, the most varied, the most lovely, the most precious. Other backpacking trips are visits away; on the Long Trail I am at home. This explains, I am sure, why in those five trips (indeed, in only three of them) I have completely covered the Long Trail. With this letter I am applying for end-to-end certification. I have attached a brief report detailing my daily activities. Sincerely, Dan Styer 1 End-to-End Report Dan Styer 1982: Sherburne Pass to Camel's Hump June 21 Bus to Rutland, hitchhike to Sherburne Pass. Walk in about a quarter mile and camp. June 22 My first sighting of Braun's Holly Fern. At David Logan Shelter, a hummingbird flies among the Cow-Parsnip. Sleep alone there. Torrential downpour at night, during which porkie enters shelter. June 23 Rain on-and-off all day. My first sightings of Twisted Stalk, of White Bog Orchis (Habenaria dilatata), and of Three-toothed Cinquefoil. Impress a family at Sunrise Shelter by building a fire in the soaking wet woods. Slip and fall on wet puncheon, hurting knee. Sleep at Sucker Brook Shelter, which is full.
