Mary Shelleys literary classic is musically retold in this thrilling adaptation for concert band. Inspired by three scenes from the book, listeners are transported from the frigid arctic wasteland where the novel begins, to the eerie graveyards and laboratory where the monster is created, and finally to the terrifying climax. Styled after the Gothic soundtracks of classic horror movies, the music creates a strong sense of drama that will quicken the pulse as the story unfolds.
