Pilatus: Mountain of Dragons by Steven Reineke. Concert band. Holiday Treasures Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR326). Grade 4.5. Score and set of parts. Composed 2002. Duration 10 minutes, 6 seconds. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.012-3227-00).

A major work for advanced bands that utilizes the full resources of the modern concert band/wind ensemble. Solos for flute, alto sax, oboe, euphonium, horn, and trumpet. Vast dynamic contrasts as it builds from soft delicate sections of just a few instruments to huge tutti sections of massive symphonic proportions. A truly exception composition that is sure to become a standard of the band repertiore. OUTSTANDING IN EVERY RESPECT!
