The dynamic conclusion to Robert W. Smith's long awaited second symphony, The Odyssey, will bring the house down without fail. You'll hear the arrows pass right by your head, the sword fight ensue, and an overall tremendous work for concert band. Monumental! Program it alone or, for a awe-inspiring concert, program it with the other three movements, "The Iliad" (BDM00052), "The Winds of Poseidon" (BD9923), and "The Isle of Calypso" (BDM01042). (5:50)

Recorded at Omega Studios, Rockville, Maryland
