From the subterranean depths of the castle known as Chateau La Roche the ghosts of the knights rise and waft about to the delight, or perhaps horror of visitors who claim to see these shadowy figures and apparitions. This piece for string orchestra was composed for the Kings High School Chamber Orchestra of the Kings Local School District. The mascot of the school district is a knight, and the high school is only a few miles from Chateau La Roche, part of Loveland Castle in southwest Ohio. This work, set in e minor begins with the double basses intoning a pedal point, setting the mood for the opening melody in the violas, which is then restated with the second violins echoing a beat later and an octave above. An extended pizzicato section in the cellos and double basses provides rhythmic impetus to the floating melody in the violins and violas. A stretto-like passage sets up the sweeping climax which leads to the eerily quiet close. A delightfully spooky addition to your Halloween-themed concert!
