Program Notes

A distinctive work inspired by folklore surrounding Llyr, the Welsh God of the Sea. A powerful, grandiose opening sets the scene for the exciting yet mysterious allegro of quickly changing instrumental colors. A slow and dramatic section follows, building gradually to an explosive return to the allegro.

Castles of Llyr was commissioned by the Long Beach (New York) 1988-1989 Middle School Band, Richard Horning, director. The work is dedicated to James J. Jones, principal, for his constant support of the music department.
