Of Knights and Kings is inspired by Arthurian legends and folklore. As you listen to the work, you will be transported to castles and courts, encounter the lady of the lake and receive a legendary sword, and battle against a monstrous dragon. One of the details I sometimes include in my scores is different ‘flavor texts’ instead of traditional Italian tempo markings that are evocative of different images, and local Tucson musician Mariah McCammond, an Arthurian scholar and dear friend, was instrumental in helping me determine these flavor texts.
Of Knights and Kings was premiered on February 25th, 2017 by Outlaw Reeds at the University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music.
You can purchase the score for Of Knights and Kings from Trevco Music Publishing.
