An exciting and impressive composition that portrays an epic struggle inthe distant past between the forces of good and evil. A wizard, a beau tiful exotic maiden, a battle, and our hero are woven in the fabric of this musical tale. Sprightly melodies, lively rhythms and tasty writingfor a whole battalion of percussionists produce an opening section whic h is full of energy and vitality. The flowing adagio section features anice oboe solo (cued in clarinet) and a horn section soli (cued in saxe s) that really make this piece special. A superior choice for any concert or contest performance. Very highly recommended!
