Program Notes
This work evokes images of a noble procession of valiant knights on horseback. A soft, mysterious opening passage introduces a spirited main section featuring bold melodic material that is passed throughout the ensemble. A brief percussion break leads to a restatement of earlier melody as the piece moves to a powerful conclusion.
