Difficulty Level: Medium, Grade 3/4

Style: Contemporary Symphonic Music

Original Music Composed by Tim Hinton

Percussion Music by Jim Irish

(Originally commissioned by the Archbishop Alter H.S. Band, Kettering, OH – Todd Tucker, Director)

Written for a small band, this through-composed production explores dark sounds and moods.  It uses original music paired with the famous “Dies Irae”, the brilliant and spooky “Totentanz” by Liszt, and the brassy and heroic “Symphonie Funebre et triomphale” by Berlioz.  A great custom marching band show that is playable and effective for smaller groups.

Fee for use of the music for the season:
