The Desert's Eyes

This highly dramatic, lushly scored wind ensemble work is full of imagery that will take players and listeners on an epic journey through the desert on an Arabian horse as a mysterious rider races through an intensely rhythmic course across the burning sands. After a quiet rest at an oasis under a full moon, the sun rises to find the rider and her courageous stallion once again racing into the sunrise for a triumphant and inspiring ending. All percussion parts are completely notated, and any wind players on hand can easily cover the crucial auxiliary part.
