DARK ADVENTURE RALPH FORD PROGRAM NOTES DARK ADVENTURE is a musical journey through a strange and unfamiliar land, a land filled with mysticism and magic. The opening statement should be performed very mysteriously. A bold unison statement quickly follows as the adventure begins. As the ride proceeds, the melodic line should be flowing at ali times in sharp contrast to the lilting rhythmic undercurrents. Halfway through the joumey, there is a calm reassurance that should be played in a most expressive manner. Just as things appear to have settled down, the lis- tener Is swept back on a mystical journey through this DARK ADVENTURE. It is my hope that you, your students, and your audience will find this an exciting and rewarding musical experience. Ralph Ford weve INSTRUMENTATION Conductor Flute Oboe.
