Celestial Guardians (Conductor Score) (Eighth Note) David Marlatt

According to ancient Chinese mythology, the universe was divided into four quadrants called the Four Celestial Palaces, each represented by a guardian animal: Dragon, Phoenix, Tiger and Tortoise. This four-movement work takes the listener on a journey to ancient China with contrasting moods and rhythmic interest. Many different instruments and sections are featured throughout the piece. A little world music for young band.
