If you check out this week's Shelton Mason County Journal, you will see Isaac Dorcy on the front page. Isaac just graduated from Whitworth University in Spokane with a degree in music composition, and for his senior recital, he composed an original piece for brass quintet called "Ode to Paul Bunyan."The piece is rooted in Pacific Northwest Paul Bunyan lore, including the first-ever Paul Bunyan storybook set in the Pacific Northwest, written by James Stevens in 1925. Isaac pulled one quote per movement to shape each section of the music, which takes listeners from the wintry first meeting of Paul and Babe the Blue Ox, through a bluegrass-inflected forest section complete with performers stomping their feet for a hoedown feel, into a somber stretch, and finally a joyous resolution.🎺 Listen to "Ode to Paul Bunyan" on YouTube: https://youtu.be/WA7jq2NpzRY#SheltonWA #MasonCounty #FocusOnShelton #KMASRadio #PaulBunyan #ForestFestival #PacificNorthwest #LocalMusic #BrassQuintet #HoodCanal #WashingtonState #SheltonMasonCountyJournal #WhitworthUniversity #MusicComposition #PNWHistory
