This new work by composer Liz Hanna is based on a Native American Folktale about a mouse on a journey to the Holy Mountain. She encounters a series of creatures along the way in need of help that she is able to provide. 
The second part of the story will be revealed in the second movement, which will premiere at Choral Chameleon's StoryTime 2 Concert in May.

The role of Jumping Mouse is sung by Liz Hanna, soprano.
