Pilsner's interpretation views these powerful women battling with the power over life and death in the midst of incredible turmoil, while also showing their true regal nature of bringing the fallen warriors to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla. Valkyrie Rising was commissioned by Corry Petersen and the Poudre High School Wind Ensemble in 2019. It premiered on March 5, 2019 at the Colorado Bandmasters Association Regional Festival. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to TCB newsletter: http://eepurl.com/dlw99H Follow Trinity Concert Band: Facebook: / trinityconcertband Twitter: / tcbconcertband Instagram: / trinity_concert_band Website: https://www.trinityband.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Donate to Trinity Concert Band to keep community music playing: https://wonderful.org/charities/1145098 #TrinityConcertBand #ncbf #valkyrierising #chrispilsner #concertband #windband
