Kingdom of the Sun and the Moon (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Buckley, Robert

Inspired by an exhibition of historic Peruvian art, Kingdom of the Sun and Moon takes us on a mythical journey reflecting the ancient Inca Empire. This imaginary movie score uses modal melodies, exotic percussion and dramatic orchestration to create an epic music experience. In cinematic style, this work opens with a panoramic picture of the great Inca city of Machu Picchu and ends with a colourful procession towards the Temple of the Sun. Though written for young band, Kingdom of the Sun and Moon's effective scoring gives it the sophisticated sound and intensity of a much more advanced piece.Duration: 3:20
