Celestial Legend
uses thematic material based on Follow the Drinking Gourd and The
Church's One Foundation. The piece seeks to recognize Green
County, Ohio for its role in the Underground Railroad Movement, when
escaping slaves were taught to follow the North Star. A delicate
opening moves into a frenzy of woodwind activity over powerful brass
fanfares. After a brief lyrical section, the piece resumes its fire,
erupting in celebration as it catapults toward its heroic ending!
