Program Notes

Full of cinematic grandeur and epic style, Return of the Crusaders provides an exciting and effective vehicle for your next concert. Gorgeous melodies, rousing themes, and effective changes of mood and character portray the crusaders and their quest. The ample percussion parts provide sparkle, and power the bold themes of the piece, which are balanced by the beautiful lyrical melodies that are also present. An especially effective piece for contest, take your audience on a trip to the ancient world with Return of the Crusaders.

Return of the Crusaders was commissioned by The Commission Project for the Willink Middle School Eighth Grade Band, Katrina, Wahl, director.
