Orchestral Works
Trilogy for the Endangered Species
Music by Candace Forest
Composer’s Notes
“…a fabulously delightful family concert featuring Peter and the Wolf and a 21st Century work, Trilogy for the Endangered Species. Composer Candace Forest was applauded and cheered after the performance, marked by beautiful and often moving choral and orchestral music.”
In both its length (11 minutes) and its subject matter, the Trilogy for the Endangered Species is a perfect companion piece to Peter and the Wolf. It includes Rachel's Dream, inspired by the work of environmental scientist/writer, Rachel Carson; Into Thin Air, featuring a choral warning message from birds of the world; and Out of Space, Out of Time, a eulogy for the African elephants and other threatened wild animals large and small.
