Valkyrie—Matt Neufeld. Bring myth to life
with Valkyrie, a bold and imaginative Grade
1 work. Inspired by Norse legend, the piece
uses tense harmonies, rhythmic drive,
and dramatic effects to tell the story of the
Valkyries - warrior spirits who carry fallen
heroes to Valhalla. Whispered Icelandic
text, battle cries, and rustling paper to mimic
flapping wings create a vivid soundscape
that's as theatrical as it is musical. With a
clever nod to Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries,
this piece is sure to capture the imaginations
of young performers and thrill audiences!

teaching work.

A Mystical Legend—Kevin Hilbun. This
mysterious work depicts the loup-garou
(French for "werewolf," sometimes rendered
as rougarou in spelling and pronunciation).
This swamp wolfman from Cajun folklore is
largely used as a children's tale to inspire
obedience, though it can be seen as a force
for good. This edgy and eerie composition
presents the loup-garou as a misunderstood
monster or a tragic protagonist.
