Winner of the 2014 National Band Association Young Band Composition Contest, "The Haunted Carousel" was conceived as a piece for band utilizing the sound of a theremin, an electronic instrument often used in old science fiction and horror movies. The part is optional and all critical material is doubled with other instruments of the band. The theremin part is designed to be performed live on an amplified iPad with the GarageBand application. This is one Halloween piece your entire audience will be talking about long after the concert! (4:20).
