Witch And The Saint, The

Quite simply, one of the finest and most impressive pieces of concert band writing we've heard. Born of an ancient legend of twin sisters whose lives followed vastly different paths, their story unfolds with Steven Reineke's astonishing gift for melody and harmony. A mysterious, Gregorian chant-like opening, broad, modal fanfares, dynamic dance episodes, epic, percussive struggles between Good and Evil, and one of the purest, most beautiful melodies your band will ever play. Truly a new masterwork for concert band. (10:22)
