Avalon - Federico Agnello

Avalon - Jan Van der Roost

The magical world of King Arthur, Merlin and Mordred is the setting for Avalon. Unexpected opening figures portray the sudden entrance into another world. A choral-like melody represents the procession of ghosts headed by the mighty magician Merlin. Suddenly, ostinato figures and bi-tonal motifs indicate the attempt of Mordred and his horde to disturb the peace and quiet in the otherwise calm Avalon. Following a powerful statement of King Arthur, we hear a glissando referring back to the opening bars, and... we are back in the normal world. The journey through the underworld has come to an end and the dream is over.

Avanti - Norman Tailor

Avantia - David Shaffer

This excellent composition in overture form builds in intensity from the opening syncopated rhythms to the broad maestoso finale. The slower middle section combines lush harmonies with solo passages for various instruments. Strong lyrical melodies are mixed with an energetic rhythmic backing to give the piece a unique contemporary sound.
