Ghosts of the Taman Negara
This original composition is based on a wildlife research study which took place in Malaysia’s largest national park, the Taman Negara. Researchers embarked on an expedition in the jungle tracking that wildest of wild animals, the tiger.

The composer’s intent in this composition is to take you on an expedition tour and emulate the experience of the jungle.

The B section of the piece moves smoothly into a stately, alla breve tempo with a clarinet choir making the first presentation of the melody. Following a very peaceful conclusion to the B section, an abbreviated restatement of the A section melody leads to the dynamic ending.SKU: AL24664 -
