Coven

Coven is a musical journey into the world of malevolent sorcery practiced on the Witches’ Sabbath. This advanced work for the mature Wind Band portrays the mystical sounds of sinister spells and incantations. The mysterious introduction suddenly takes a grotesque, torturous turn as the coven performs the diabolical Sabbath ritual.
