Creatures [Alf:98-ST6144]

A dark and sinister night full of strange happenings and ghoulish encounters.... So describes this haunting work by Brian Balmages, perfect for any concert, especially in the fall. Opening with a menacing march as creatures emerge from the darkness, the mischief unfolds. Dissonances in upper strings add to the chaos before the audience hears footsteps in retreat of the coming dawn. A wonderful vehicle for introducing aleatoric music to students in a fun and creative way!
