Wolf Moon

Wolves have brought about a sense of intrigue throughout human history. The tone poem, Wolf Moon, by Robert Sheldon, depicts these fascinating and noble creatures in four connected movements: “Wolves at Dusk,” which sets the scene in dark and mysterious tones; “The Pack on the Move” which is quite menacing; “Wolves in Moonlight” imagining sadness, joy and apprehension; and “The Hunt,” displaying a scene of ruthlessness along with the breathtaking speed and coordination of the wolves as they run wildly through the night to capture their prey, enhanced by the multiple meters and extreme dynamics. A dramatic and bold work!
