Mountains and Rivers Without End

Mountains and Rivers Without End

Mountains And Rivers Without End is a large 18th century silk painting by Korean artist Yi In-Mun, located in the National Museum of Korea.

Mountains And Rivers Without End is also the name of a 1968 chamber symphony for 10 players by the American composer Alan Hovhaness, and got its name from the aforementioned painting of Yi-In-Mun, which Hovhaness saw on a 1962 visit to Seoul, South Korea. The work, which dates from the composer's distinctly oriental phase, was recorded in the early 1970s and is available on CD.

Mountains And Rivers Without End is, additionally, an epic poem by American poet and essayist Gary Snyder. Snyder began writing the poem in 1956 and published the final version in 1996.
