A very exciting
and contemporary work
that is descriptive of
the tragedy that occurred
in Central America in
1541 when a long quiet
volcano that had filled
with water suddenly
erupted, sending mud and
water covering the city
of Ciudad Vieja killing
many and completely
wiping out the city. The
name of that volcano was
Agua, which on that day
brought whelm on to
everything that its
waters touched. This is
the second published work
by young composer Cory
McBride and was written
when he was a 16 year old
high school student.
Bold, unique and
distinctive, includes
solos for flute, tenor
sax, bari sax & horn and
it’s an excellent
programming choice for
any festival or concert
performance by better
bands.
