Evoking images of knights and castles, For the Realm is a work inspired by medieval legends. Scored so your ensemble sounds its best, composer Christina Huss has crafted a piece that will fit perfectly on any concert program this season!

For the Realm is an original band composition written as a modern tone poem for band. The piece opens with a proud, noble theme introduced by the Brass, featuring brief solos from the Euphonium, French Horn, Trumpet, and Trombone sections. Each Brass solo represents a different knight, symbolizing their devotion to their homeland.

As the music progresses, additional voices are introduced, building until the entire realm is musically portrayed. The tension rises as the looming threat of invaders takes center stage, with both Winds and Percussion engaging in a fierce battle. The conflict culminates in a triumphant return of the opening melodies, concluding with a resounding victory.
