Composed by Neeck. Concert Band. Heritage of the March Series. Audio recording available separately (items CL.WFR334 & CL.WFR353). Oversized, spiral-bound score. Composed 2005. Duration 6 minutes, 44 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-3418-75. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-3418-75). An exciting and impressive composition that portrays an epic struggle in the distant past between the forces of good and evil. A wizard, a beautiful exotic maiden, a battle, and our hero are woven in the fabric of this musical tale. Sprightly melodies, lively rhythms and tasty writing for a whole battalion of percussionists produce an opening section which is full of energy and vitality. The flowing adagio section features a nice oboe solo (cued in clarinet) and a horn section soli (cued in saxes) that really make this piece special. A superior choice for any concert or contest performance.
