Music in the American Wild Album Updates

Happy National Park Week! While we’re all staying home and sheltering in place this year, our American Wild Ensemble team is taking part in the celebration the best way we know how: by sharing beautiful videos of national park footage from our 2018 album, Music in the American Wild.

We have made these videos publicly available on YouTube, and you can tune in to travel through some of the most beautiful places in the country without leaving home! You’ll spot scenes from Mount Rainier, Shenandoah, Great Smoky Mountains, Olympic, Mammoth Cave, North Cascades, and San Juan Island (and a few other non-park locations!), all filmed and created by the amazing Jorge Arzac. And you’ll hear a wonderful variety of colorful music by composers Aaron Travers, Chris Chandler, Tonia Ko, Daniel Pesca, Kevin Ernste, and Aristea Mellos, set right in the scenery in which it was originally performed!

Here’s the playlist of videos. Enjoy!

These videos accompany Disc 1 of our 2018 album. To hear the entire album - both discs - head on over to our Bandcamp page and continue to celebrate National Park Week with more music inspired by our national parks!
