    "Didi Mtebi", or "The Great Mountains" (June 2013) is written for three voices in the style of Georgian polyphony. The song was written in the Republic of Georgia, where I was researching the local folk music. It was premiered by myself and three students of the Batumi Art Training University at the First Annual Contemporary Music Festival of Batumi, Georgia. The recording was made in the brand new music studio of the Ozurgeti municipal theater. Performing are myself, Georgian Natia Surguladze, and American-Georgian Toma Mallett, both of whom graciously donated hours of their time and hard work to hone this very challenging piece. In Georgia, I was often burdened by isolation and homesickness. I found solace in the overwhelming mountains, which rose higher upon the horizon than anything I have ever seen, and the vast blue sky. I saw these mountains impressed upon the sky each morning as I walked to the village school and their immutability because a source of strength for me.
