Spiel: The title Crown of Thorns is an obvious reference to Christ's Crown of Thorns, but the name first came to the composer as a possible title for a piece from seeing a plant called "Crown of Thorns" at the New York Botanical Gardens. Crown of Thorns is a rambling, thorny desert plant from the Middle East, with small green leaves, and small, pretty red flowers. The rambling, interweaving, vine-like stems suggested this music.
The seven-starred halo is a transcended image of the crown of thorns. It is the crown of highest spiritual power arrived at through the greatest depth of suffering. The music is at times sober and reflective, but more often filled with a liberated energy and joy. The imagery is Christian, but the musical experience transcends religion, and is universal.
Dassel-Cokato High School is proud to present "Crown of Thorns" fo your entertainment.
Other info: We would like to thank the DC Administration, Activities Department, parents, and community for the continued support of DC Drumline.
