This dramatic composition is a musical portrait that reflects nearly 300 years of Ohio history. Inspired by the Portsmouth Floodwall Murals, a popular tourist attraction which features 2,200 square feet of art along the beautiful Ohio River, In The Winter Of 1730 is crafted into four continuous movements. Shawnee Village, 1730: This mural is represented by a haunting Flute soli (optional recorder solo) that is accompanied by clarinets and a wide variety of percussion sounds. 1812 Era: Powerful drums introduce The Battle of Thames where Tecumseh, Chief of the Shawnee Indians, lost his life. Portsmouth, 1903: A Copeland-like introduction is followed by a lively rendition of original folk music. Both help to make the city of Portsmouth, Ohio 'come to life' at the turn of the 20th century. The Beauty of the River (For All Time): A beautiful and expressive theme brings this work to a glorious and highly impressive finish. This musical endeavor reflects the type of composition that you'll certainly want your students and audiences to experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
