8. Prelude to Act II
Posted by Eric Houghton in Songs on Jul 16, 2017
Entirely orchestral and at 5:20, Prelude to Act II of Pioneer SongsĀ could be a terrific stand-alone piece on any program. The piece contains nine memorable melodies from the main work, including the haunting guitar solo from Farewell.
