A Day on Hellroaring Plateau is a musical depiction of the daily drama between light and dark played out on the high-altitude tundra of the Absaroka Mountain range straddling the Wyoming-Montana border. This drama is staged in four acts: dark to dawn, an alpine summer morning, a sudden afternoon storm, and late-afternoon radiance returning back to starlit darkness. . The score is transposed but is keyless, as are the parts. Difficulty level is grade 5.
