The Legend of Castle Armagh

Commissioned by the Cabarrus All-County Middle School Band (Concord, North Carolina), this work was inspired by the composer's Irish heritage and the rich history of Ireland. With three main themes, this programmaticwork opens with a peaceful sunrise with mist rising from the bog. The s econd theme describes the great hall of a majestic medieval castle, complete with vibrant colors and pageantry. The exciting battle theme follows and ultimately resolves to a return of the earlier themes. A wonderfully effective setting for beginning players! (Includes Full Performance CD)
