Your high school orchestra will love the dark harmonies and driving rhythms of this exciting new overture, written in the style of end credits to a superhero movie. All sections of the orchestra are featured in this tour-de-force, as the rich melodic material is generously passed from instrument to instrument. A lyrical middle section features an extended violin solo and a beautifully tranquil solo for string bass. Menacing, frightening, mysterious, and peaceful?the myriad of emotions contained here are sure to take your audience and your orchestra on an unforgettable ride, while creating a challenge for all of your students.
