This five part musical collection was the subject of my senior capstone recital. It details the story of a dragon’s inner journey of self-discovery, and reclaiming their identity. Along the way, they meet friends, undiscover the secrets of a mysterious relic, and strive to end a war. Each movement features different instruments including a brass quartet, mixed percussion, pitched percussion, piano, choir, and a woodwind group.

Program notes:

It longs to experience the outdoor world and all of its splendor. So, the lonely and fed-up bird decides to escape, but little does it know that there is one more threat stopping it from tasting freedom…
