Program Notes

Professor Alex is an imaginary character whose tales of adventure I have set to music. After studying as an archaeologist for 20 years, Professor Alex finds a mysterious map describing ancient treasures as well as an immortal ("fountain of youth") spring. That's the only the beginning; the entire story is portrayed by the music. I would rather not tell the entire story and reveal Professor Alex's fate. Please enjoy imagining his adventures and producing Professor Alex's spectacular voyage.

Adventure Tale of Professor Alex was commissioned in 2005 by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Eastern Army Band.
