Sleepy Hollow by Matthew Pierce

Act I: Tracks 1 - 25
Act II: Tracks 26 - 40
Bonus: Track 41, Rip Van Winkle Narrated by Matthew Pierce

Matthew Pierce’s original music and arrangements, performed by a live orchestra, give the ballet a sweeping lyrical unity. What a luxury for a full-length production, to have the era, the season, the drama and the emotions so richly enhanced by the music.
