Program Notes:

East of the Cane Fields is influenced by the cane field found in Boston’s Fenway Park. When blown by the wind, the canes move in such a way that produces a special visual effect, and a mysterious whistle. The flexibility of the canes makes their movement change constantly from one direction to the other. I translated this visual effect to sound and applied it to the harp.
