The arduous and dangerous first journey to the South Pole is skillfully interpreted for young band with ANTARCTIC SAGA. Young musicians love to play programmatic music. They'll imagine Norwegian Roald Amundsen's historic daringfeat as they rehearse this compelling arrangement, which has loads of potential for cross-curricular work in both history and geography. The arrangement includes exciting optional sound effects (such as a chilling glassharmonica), which help students realize that music can be made in many ways. A reference to the Norwegian National Anthem completes the journey.

Carl Wittrock a été inspiré par les énormes champs de glace qui entourent le Pôle Sud. Les sons colorés et majestueux de cette composition donnent une vue fluide et fascinante de ce « 6e continent ». Les mélodies libres d’Antartica sontreliées entre elles par un accompagnement harmonieux et simple, rendant cette œuvre agréable pour l’auditeur et les musiciens.
