Description
Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's short story, this powerful piece written for either full or string orchestra tracks the storyline, which is standard reading in many schools. Beginning with a bold opening statement, the music moves into a quick, swirling theme that builds to a frenzied conclusion.

I remember we did this for our 8th grade comp and I was first chair trumpet and was one of the three people actually really dedicated to band and had to carry the whole section on my back. My lips still haven't recovered and I'm going into my sophomore year.
