Annotation

Commissioned by YBS Band, this is a kaleidoscopic six movement sequel to Cry of the Celts.
The work provides solo opportunities for several principal players. Peter Graham takes us first to Latin America, then to Japan and onwards to Saharan Africa. We get a gentle reprieve via a nostalgic hint of the British Isles before we land in the melting pot of all styles, the USA. In this final section the driving swing section is abruptly stopped and a drum cadenza leads us back into the opening Latin music.
The six movements are:

  1. Amazonia
  2. Rainforest
  3. The Rising Sun
  4. Drums of Thunder
  5. Cetlic Dream
  6. Earth Walk

Any of the movements can be programmed individually.
