"The Reluctant Dragon" musical is adapted from Kenneth Grahame's story of the same name. Several of the instrumentals from the musical have been combined as program music into "Knights and Dragons Suite for Orchestra," similar to the famous "Peter and the Wolf." The musical is an allegory: The Boy represents all children; The Mother, all parents. The Dragon is any thing or person that defies our notions of what that thing or person should be. And St. George? He's the pragmatic arbitrator who comes to realize -- and accept -- that he doesn't really know so awfully much about what dragons are like after all. MAY WE ALL BE LIKE ST. GEORGE! A "Knights and Dragons" video is included for concert programming. The orchestra can play the score and the video can be projected on a big screen - the timing is exactly the same.
