This
three-movement
programmatic work is
based on various
constellations and their
Greek mythologies.
Movements include Orion
(The Hunter), Draco (The
Dragon), and Pegasus (The
Winged Horse). The
opening movement paints a
picture of the night sky
before introducing the
mighty Orion. The second
movement depicts the
fiery dragon and its
fierce triple row of
teeth. (An optional
lion's roar enhances the
movement.) The final
movement takes listeners
on a flight with Pegasus,
beginning with a fast
gallop on the ground
before the magnificent
animal takes flight. The
movements can be
performed separately or
as a whole. Absolutely
stunning!

Appro
priate for middle school
and smaller high school
groups. Second clarinets
usually stay below the
break. Parts are written
with more independence,
and instrumentation
increases slightly. There
is still adequate
doubling in the lower
voices. Grades 2 -
