Castle Gate, 1924 (Story and Legend) Tyler S. Grant

This dramatic work portrays the events in Castle Gate, Utah; a coal mining town that was rocked by a series of explosions in 1924. Young composer Grant tells the epic story of disaster and also reflects the legend left behind by the miners. Powerful and adventurous, this is an ideal opportunity for students to experience music written by one of their peers!
