Heartbreak in the Motherlode—
Gary P. Gilroy.
The passionate and soulful
writing of this middle episode of A California Gold
Rush Trilogy captures the despair and heartbreak
experienced during the California Gold Rush. Slow,
moving melodic lines and deep harmonies paint
a picture of emigrants far from home; then the
music moves forward with a sense of hope in the
search for gold and riches. Determination marches
relentlessly forward, never giving up, building to
a climax, but eventually returns to the opening
theme of loneliness and despair in the last few bars,
creating a "shiver" of the final tonality.

an uplifting and hopeful note; a nice addition to
