Leviathan is one of the great mythological sea monsters. This piece for wind ensemble depicts a battle between a ship and the sea serpent. This exciting, high energy work will spark the imaginations of musicians and the audience alike.

The upper woodwinds and percussion represent the sea throughout the story. The brass play the role of the sailors as they set out on their journey, ultimately facing the great monster in a storm. The Leviathan theme is played throughout as a 16th note run in the lowest voices. The introduction is the sunrise as our heroes prepare to go to sea, with rehearsal A being their departure. At rehearsal B, the weather darkens as a storm sets in and Leviathan is sighted. The battle begins. Tensions rise and the sailors' uncertainty and returning conviction come through at rehearsal D. At E, the battle is finished. Our sunrise theme reappears in the flutes as the storm clears. After this tense and exciting battle concludes, it is left to the listener to decide who won.
