A Fairy’s Tale is a short, whimsical, and wondrous work that invites listeners into a world of magic, innocence, and storybook charm. Sparkling textures, graceful melodies, and playful orchestral colors bring the spirit of a classic fairytale to life, capturing a sense of curiosity and wonder that immediately engages both performers and audience alike.

Though thoughtfully crafted with musical challenges appropriate for a full orchestra, A Fairy’s Tale is highly rewarding for students and a joy to rehearse. Its imaginative writing encourages expressive playing while remaining accessible and effective in performance. Originally composed for the animated short film Twilight Prophecy, the score was awarded Best Original Score at the LA CineFest (2017). Now adapted as an engaging concert work, this piece makes an ideal prelude to a festive program, setting a magical tone that enchants from the very first note.
