Music: Scumble River Portrait by David Stybr
1. Scumble River Legend, a Ballad for Small Orchestra (1 minute). How many book series have their own signature music? It's quirky, but so is Scumble River, Illinois.
2. Lazy River Waltz, for Woodwind Quartet and Piano (1¼ minutes). The Sun dawns on another slightly out-of-kilter day in Scumble River, Illinois.
3. Rolling River Rag, for Piano (4 minutes). Rags were inspired by the Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and now Scumble River too.
4. Prélude to a Muse (and to Amuse), a Passacaglia for Rock Band, Percussion Ensemble and Harp (3½ minutes), performed by Vince Denison's band Pink Elephant (and friends).
5. "Bad Boys and Blondes" Bossa Nova, for Brass Quintet and Percussion (1¼ minutes). It can only mean trouble in Scumble River, Illinois.
Independent music by David Stybr in this web site:
6. Tango: Summer Night in Montevideo, for Accordion and Piano (3½ minutes)
7. Andante Cantabile for String Orchestra (5 minutes)
8. George Frideric Händel: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, arranged by David Stybr for Tuned Percussion Ensemble (Glockenspiel, Celesta, Music Box, Steel Drum, Xylophone, Marimba and Vibraphone) (3½ minutes)
David Stybr, Engineer and Composer
It's Left Brain vs. Right Brain: best 2 falls out of 3.
