A retelling of treasured stories through music. Extremely dynamic, rich in color, and instantly accessible, tall tales seem to have an inherent musical quality to them. Originally conceived as entertainment or outrageous campfire stories, there is nothing remotely subtle about them. Exaggeration is key in chronicling the extraordinary events of some of American folklore's most beloved and timeless individuals. These larger than life characters are captured musically in splashes of color, exaggerated nuance markings, and easily whistleable tunes. Premiered by the Arkansas State University Wind Ensemble at the 2010 CBDNA Southwestern Conference, this multi-movement work captures the spirit of Pecos Bill during the great American expansion into the Southwest.
