Stonehenge is a four movement show based on Pagan holidays commonly associated with Stonehenge. Movement I: Samhain is the beginning of the Celtic New Year on October 31. The music is dark and brooding featuring an opening clarinet / flute duet that develops into a huge opening hit sure to grab your audience's attention.
Movement II: Yule is a celebration of the Winter Solstice and layers the familiar melody of Greensleeves over infectious Pagan music from their Yule ritual.
Movement III: Ostara, or, the celebration of the Spring Equinox, brings a feeling of rebirth to the music that culminates in a powerful ending.
Movement IV: Litha - celebration of the Summer Solstice, brings our exploration of the Pagan Holidays of Stonehenge full circle. An alternate ending is provided to allow bands to choose a down or up ending for their show.
