What music colleagues are saying about Dr. Scott Watson...
Featured Composition
Pirate Kings from the East (Alfred, Grade 1.5)
The legendary journey of the Three Kings is musically transported from the desert to the high seas, swapping the traditional caravan of camels with a fearsome tall ship and pirate crew! Bold themes, triple-meter sea-shanty rhythms, and exciting percussion contribute to the high-spirited adventure. At the stirring conclusion of this buccaneer drama, one can almost hear the maritime Magi heartily proclaiming, "We Three Kings of Orient... ARRRGH!"
