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 all times in sharp contrast to the lilting rhythmic undercurrents. Halfway through the journey, there is a calm reassurance that should be played in a most expressive manner. Just as things appear to have settled down, the listener is swept back on a mystical journey through this "Dark Adventure."

Composed By: "Dark Adventure" was composed by Ralph Ford.
