Pilatus Mountain of Dragons



This programmatic tone poem for Symphonic Band opens as Mount Pilatus slumbers at night, shrouded in darkness and mystery among the clouds high above Lucerne. As dawn breaks, a band of courageous adventurers climb Pilatus in search of dragons to slay. After an arduous journey filled with breathtaking views and terrestrial beauty, the adventurers finally stumble across a dragon lair. They awaken the mighty dragon who must now battle the intruders of his domain. All but one adventurer are mortally wounded leaving the pitiful human to beg for mercy and forgiveness from the dragon. Demonstrating great compassion, the dragon produces a magical stone, called draconite, from his own wounds in order to heal and save the intruders. In doing so, the dragon has also placed compassion and tolerance in the hearts and minds of man leading them to a happy and peaceful coexistence with the dragons of Pilatus. Pilatus: Mountain of Dragons was commissioned by the Jugend-Blasorchester (Youth Wind Orchestra) of the city of Lucerne, Switzerland to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the ensemble. The world premiere was given on May 31, 2002 in the spectacular Kultur und kongresszentrum Lucerne (Culture and Congress Center) performance hall at the base of Mt. Pilatus in Lucerne. -Steven RienekeFrom the Walking Frog Records Consert Band CD "Into the Raging River:The Music of Steven Reineke"Performed by The Washington Winds

@CharlotteLsometimes I see the word geeks very derogatory, I think band and orchestra players are a VERY important for the culture of the society.
