Overture To Rob-Roy (FJH)

In a world of sorcerers, magic, elven warriors, and fantastical creatures, anything is possible. This musical adventure continues the story from Thomas's popular Land of Dragons. In this chapter, a lively band of warriors join the quest. The music includes fierce rhythmic interplay, syncopation, and soaring melodies. A solo ocarina (optional violin or flute) and a lively percussion section add to the cinema-style orchestration. An entrancing addition to your concert program! (3:30)

This arrangement embodies the full sound and spirit of the original overture, yet is orchestrated in a way that takes full advantage of the string orchestra sonic palette. A fabulous choice as an opener, closer, or celebratory work for any special occasion! (4:00)

Bringer of War (After Holst) by Balmages (FJH)

This cleverly titled work includes three famous themes from The Planets. The swooping and fluttering sounds of Mercury, the Winged Messenger give way to the mystical tone clusters and serenity of Venus, the Bringer of Peace. The arrangement closes with the iconic militant ostinato and extreme dissonance of Mars, the Bringer of War. An exceptional arrangement. (4:30)
