DESCRIPTION:

“Donner Pass” is a mesmerizing instrumental that’s as somber as the tragic event whose name it invokes. The Donner Party was trapped at the pass in the frigidly cold mountains in 1846. Their survival gave rise to horror stories that remain both vivid and controversial. The tune is powerfully dark and foreboding.
