St. George and the Dragon is music inspired by the epic poem, The Faerie Queen. Written by Edmund
Spencer, Book I of The Faerie Queen tells about the journey of St. George, his battles with great evils, and the
Dragon that threatens the land of the princess, Una. Over the course of the story, St. George and Una
encounter strange creatures, forests, and lions, and win the fight to bring peace to the kingdom.
The music by David Isaac brings to life the drama of this poem. Action, romance, battles, dragons, haunted
forests, love and death. The music captures and inspires the spectrum of human emotions.
Over a year in the writing, St. George and the Dragon, is a brilliantly orchestrated, epic work. The piece
encompasses a wide range of musical ideas: trumpet fanfares, distant horn calls, singing flutes, eerie sounds.
St. George is music that inspires and ennobles the human
soul and spirit.
