Broken Kingdom

WINDS ONLY Our mind is set into a poorly run kingdom, where an evil king driven by power has pulled his countrymen into a time of ruin. The opening fanfare introduces this place and brings the listener into a day to day feeling of uncertainty in the following phrase. Suddenly, a dissonant phrase pulls us out of time as the evil king demonstrates his abuse of power. This brings us to the mid-section of the piece which introduces a new character, a young noble with their heart set on becoming a knight in hopes to help the people around him. This phrase builds as they continue to be more and more influential within the kingdom and movement ends with this noble brought before the evil king, with no knowledge of what they've done... or what he'll do next. With determination and skill, the squire navigates the aristocratic world of knights, love, and honor, all while striving to overcome societal barriers and fulfill his destiny in a captivating tale of bravery, courage, and self-discovery.
