And the Fire Raged!

Displaying a variety of colors and musical styles, here is an impressive offering from Ted Ricketts. The calm setting in the beginning gradually gives way to a faster, emotionally-charged section featuring the trumpet section withrhythmic answers from the rest of the ensemble. Also featured is a contrasting section for woodwinds and brief solos for clarinet and flute before returning to the powerful faster strains and exciting ending. (3:55)
