La Dent du Chat- Legend of a Mountain (Légende d’une montagne) raconte la légende de la Dent du Chat une montagne située sur la rive Ouest du lac du Bourget dans le département de la Savoie (France). L’imposante introduction préfigure l’histoire dramatique que raconte la légende. Au pied de la montagne non loin du lac vivait jadis un pêcheur avec sa femme et leurs cinq enfants. Un thème paisible (en 6/8) évoque le pêcheur assis dans sa frêle barque dansant au milieu des eaux ondulantes du lac. Un jour attendant en vain une prise le pêcheur promit de rejeter à l'eau le premier poisson qu'il attraperait dans l'espoir d'être récompensé pour son geste généreux. À peineavait-il fait cette promesse qu'il sentit mordre à son hameçon. Oubliant sa promesse il garda le poisson et relança sa ligne. À la troisième prise il sortit de l’eau un chat noir. Le thème paisible est soudainement interrompu par les timbales qui annoncent la prise imminente d’un gros poisson. C’est l’effervescence. Le gros poisson (ou plus précisément le chat) a mordu. Dès lors la musique devient plus turbulente. Le pêcheur rentra chez lui le chat sous son bras. Sa femme et ses enfants l’adoptèrent et en prirent soin. Un thème lyrique s’élève de plusieurs pupitres de l’orchestre. Il reflète l’harmonie qui règne dans la famille du pêcheur. Ce sentiment d’harmonie chemine vers un motif plus incisif suivi d’un coup de grosse caisse illustrant l’agressivité du chat. Au fil des mois le chat devint agressif allant jusqu’à mordre les enfants. Comme le pêcheur était superstitieux il n'osait tuer le chat par crainte de malédiction. Il mit l'animal dans un sac et l'emmena très loin dans la montagne. La marche en montagne est illustrée par un thème ascendant. Le motif plus agressif est ensuite réexposé. Là-haut le chat s'attaqua aux troupeaux aux chiens aux femmes et aux enfants. Le pêcheur n'attrapa jamais plus le moindre poisson. Il vendit sa barque et devint bûcheron. Le mauvais sort s'acharna sur lui. Il se blessa d'un coup de hache et
