Through the Vulcan's Eye - By Robert W. Smith

High atop a red mountain overlooking the magnificent city of Birmingham, Alabama, stands an iron sentinel---a monument of Vulcan that keeps watch over the "City of Steel." Through the Vulcan's Eye is comprised of four melodies, each aurally describing a view from the top of the mountain and inspired by the composer's childhood experiences in Alabama's largest metropolis. Broad brush strokes of sound blanket the work, enhanced by brilliant solo passages and total involvement from the percussion. A grand work on a grand scale! (7:09)
