Program Notes
When you hear the music of Enchanted Island, it sounds like a place you might want to visit. Mysterious. Something is happening on Enchanted Island.
There are clues in the music – a slow procession, a soulful melody in the trumpets, the clamor of a ceremonial tam-tam … a sense of darkness, of respect, of an important moment.
On Enchanted Island, clouds cover the sky, a new light is born.
