Program Notes

In the final days of November, and the nights grow longer and the vicious north winds began to pound the embattled city, the kingdom was rapidly nearing its darkest hour. As enemy forces threatened from every side, the exhausted council gathered in the great hall for one final desperate meeting. With all hope waning, all other options exhausted and one last chance to save his people, the king summoned all remaining forces and invoked The Seventh Resolution.

Dedicated to the music students of Campell Middle School, Monroe Middle School, and Rolling Hills Middle School (Calif.), in the spirit of teamwork and camaraderie, and commissioned for their combined concert May, 2014.
