In the 1800s a drunken conductor was run over by a train late one night near the town of Moonville, Ohio. Over the next few years, there were many reports of a ghostly bobbing lantern and the legend of the Ghost of Moonville Tunnel sprung up. There are in fact, documented cases of very strange goings on involving death and mayhem! During the depression, Moonville was abandoned, but to this day local hikers swear that the bobbing lantern can still be seen. This large scale symphonic poem in the grand tradition of Richard Strauss presents ghostly challenges to the orchestra as well! My prize winning entry in the Lancaster Festival International Composition Contest was heralded by the Columbus Dispatch as a welcome addition to the Symphonic Repertoire, ready to take its rightful place beside The Sorcerers Apprentice and Night on Bald Mountain.
