Program Notes

A cryptid is a creature or plant whose existence has been suggested but not discovered or documented by the scientific community. Cryptids often appear in folklore and mythology, leading to stories and unfounded belief about their existence.

This three-movement work was a project for an orchestration class I took in 2014.
