No, just the name "Cuyahoga Valley National Recreational Area" (whatever this is).
One assumes it's in the Cuyahoga Valley. Since Cuyahoga County is where Cleveland is, and it was commisioned by the Cleveland Symphony...it's probably there.
Hmmm... I wonder if it starts with birdsong, and gentle undulating strings rising out of it, SKIP TWELVE MINUTES ending in a return to the gentle undulating strings and birdsong of the opening, bringing the work full circle.
Nature usually brings out the best in Horner but something was missing from A Forest Passage. Horner’s other concert works feel like he put a lot of himself into them. Forest played like a greatest hits medley. The full statement of Dreams to Dream to start took me out of it and I just started counting the number of scores that were feeding into Forest (Legends of the Fall, Cocoon, Bicentennial Man, Perfect Storm, etc.). It was pretty and a nice listen, but it felt a bit strung together and missing something to tie it all together.

I actually loved it. But then, I'm a Horner Superfan.
