4 The Dragon PrinceRick Kirby. This descriptive
and engaging work follows the ancient tale of a
handsome young prince forced by evil sorcery to
live part of his life as a dragon. The music takes
on the feel of a movie soundtrack as the legend
unfolds in grand fashion. A quiet and serene
opening story sets the stage as the story unfolds
and the adventure begins. With a significant portion
of the fast section scored in 6/8, the music spans
emotions ranging from the dramatic, to tenderness,
to majestic.

Dream, Imagine, LiveLarry Clark. The title and
inspiration for this descriptive piece comes from
the works of Henry David Thoreau. The "Dream"
section is bold and aggressive, punctuated with
strong, lively figures. It then transitions to the lush
and beautiful music of the "Imagine" section. The
lilting and dance-like "Live" section closes the work,
adding a fast presto coda that ends with a flourish.

open the work, accompanied by the quiet singing
of the members of the ensemble. This unique
and haunting introduction is followed by a variety
of equally appealing treatments of the hymn that
highlight the ensemble colors, culminating in a
powerful and magnificent finale.

n Elements (Petite Symphony)Brian Balmages.
Four short movements make up this "petite
symphony" constructed in the same form as the
elements of a traditional symphony: Allegro non
troppo; Largo; Scherzo and Allegro vivace. Each
movement also refers to an element of nature.
Movement 1, Air, is light and breathy, made
up mostly of staccato notes. Water, the second
movement, ripples and flows softly and gently. An
homage to Holst's "The Planets" can be heard in
Earth, the third movement. The piece concludes in
an intense inferno with Fire. A powerful and cleverly
composed piece!

of dynamic contrast, this arrangement is specifically

fading in the distance. A great addition to concert or

Fantasy on Yankee DoodleMark Williams.
This is a refreshing and exciting work! Yankee
Doodle seems like such a simple melody, but it's
amazing how well Mark Williams develops it using
a set of variations. Although opened by a humorous

find that this is not a novelty piece. The varied
styles and moods are displayed in well-written
music that is perfectly held together by the original
theme. Excellent!
