Gates of Lodore – Grand Mesa Music (Grade 3) - The Gates of Lodore is a rock formation at the mouth of the Canyon of Lodore along the Green River in Northwestern Colorado. The canyon walls rise up to 3000 feet as the Green River descends through the canyon. The area was first mapped by John Wesley Powell in his famous river voyage of 1869. Powell and his party had considerable difficulty navigating through the Canyon of Lodore. Place names such as Upper and Lower Disaster Falls and Hell’s Halfmile bear witness to their adventures. A bold main melody gives way to a lyric middle section as this piece musically depicts a trip through the incredible canyon.
