Inspired by the 1888 eruption of Mt. Bandai in northern Japan, this bold, imaginative work captures the drama and fury of a pyroclastic flow. The driving rhythms in the percussion, along with the dark and ominous melodies, are sure to get the audience involved in this evocative work for young band.
