Escape from the Dragons Lair - Darren W. Jenkins

This programmatic work for young band introduces students to the inherent power of music for telling stories and inspiring imagination. The suspenseful and evocative introduction sets the stage as the tension slowly builds. The mood then shifts and the action ramps up, marked by an exciting allegro that reflects an exciting race to freedom with danger close behind. This musical adventure brings a whole new dimension to young band programming, either alone or with other adventure works in the series: Dragon Fire and Dragon Flight.
