Through Darkened Sleepy Hollow (c/b) Erik Morales

FJH Concert Band

Depicting a harrowing night of ghosts and horse chases, this intriguing work recalls the very night Ichabod Crane was chased by the Headless Horseman. The dark atmosphere is immediately conveyed as slow trombone glissandi add to the eeriness. Suddenly, the chase is on as a forceful and sinister melody takes command. For a moment, Ichabod thinks he may have escaped the apparition, but we soon find out this is not the case. The chase begins once more as the piece moves quickly to its inevitable conclusion. Fantastic colors and imaginative!
