The mythological story of Orion's deadly battle with the giant scorpion comes to life in Orion's Last Battle, a unique and exciting work for developing bands. The peaceful opening presents accidentals in a harmonically consistent way, while the action-packed battle drives forward with its syncopated melodies and unison ostinatos. Orion's Last Battle will be a musically rewarding and exciting addition to any developing band library.
