The Land Called Chicora
Inspired by the legend of a mythical ancient kingdom (in present day South Carolina), The Land Called Chicora is a programmatic work telling of the 16th century Spanish and French explorers in search of this treasured civilization. With descriptive scenes ranging from the majestic sailing ships along the coast, to the foreboding forests of the interior, to the impending treachery of the natives’ threatened way of life, this impressive work is both magical and rewarding.SKU: HL4006618 -

The Last Centaur
Composed in the style of a grand and descriptive film score, The Last Centaur is a musical depiction of a centaur who is separated from his family by war, the ensuing adventures, and ultimate reunion with his family and friends. The music begins with a stately, lyrical theme in the horns followed by solo oboe. This main theme is then woven throughout the work as it develops and grows with intensity. Sweeping woodwind lines and majestic brass fanfares capture the excitement of the drama and ultimate joyous resolution. Powerful and evocative writing! Dur: 6:00(Recorded by the West Genesee (NY) High School Wind Ensemble – Andrew Perry, conductor)

The artful interplay between sections gives this piece the sophisticated sound and intensity of a much more advanced work. Dur: 3:35SKU: HL04005509 -
