Blackthorn March (Tales from the Darklands part 4)- Randall Standridge, Concert Band, Grade 1.5

About Tales from the Darklands A few years back, I created a narrative work for concert band entitled The Darklands Symphony. It told the tale of several characters and places that I have created over the years in my imagination through stories, art, and, finally, music. All of the pieces were at the Grade 2-2.5 level and were very well received. I thought I was done with the Darklands. I was wrong. New stories and new figures populated that world, and I felt drawn to the subject matter again. Thus, we are beginning a whole new volume titled Tales from the Darklands. Unlike the Symphony, the “Tales” series will not be one long story but, rather, small individual tales that give more back story and depth to the Darklands Universe. Also, the entire “Tales” series will be written at the Grade 1-1.5 level, opening up the Darklands to a whole new level of players. Each “Tales” piece will be accompanied by supplemental material online, which may be found on my website About Lady Blackthorn On the tallest mountain in the Darklands sits a castle. From this dark and stately abode, Lady Blackthorn wages her war against Queen Oscura and all of her minions to retake the land that was stolen from her family many years ago. While the citizens of the Darklands view her as a hero due to her rebellion against the cruel rulers of the kingdom, Lady Blackthorn is neither good nor evil. Cunning and possessed of a controlled nature, she serves her own purposes and seeks allies only to further her quest to sit the Ebony Throne within Darkheart Castle. Never content to lead from safety, she stands at the front of her army, leading the march down the mountain to reclaim her birthright. Blackthorn March is the “Tales of the Darklands” equivalent to Darklands March from the Darklands Symphony. This march borrows some of the harmonic language and motion from the other, while introducing new melodies and also being written for younger musicians. This march was also written in 2024, the ten-year anniversary of Darklands March.
