Commissioned by the Omaha Conservatory of Music for OCM SoundWaves 2022 Summer Music Camp.

 

The Peculiar and Preposterous Quest of Perceval and Parsifal, a Pair of Propitious, and Pleasantly Playful Penguins, for Narrator and String Orchestra, is a work intended for young musicians and written in the keys of D Major and G Major. The Narration contains light-hearted references to 19th Century Composer Richard Wagner and the Legendary Story of Perceval/Parsifal and the Search for the Holy Grail. 

 

There are three short movements.

I. Let the Waddling Begin

II. In the Hall of The Emperor Penguin

III. The End of the Quest
