The programmatic composition Of Castles and Legends is based on the German legend of the white maiden who lived in the small city of Volkmarsen. It tells the tale of invading evil knights who kidnap a beautiful maiden, who through sheer panic commanded her spirit into the hands of God and by jumping into the abyss from the highest tower of the castle where she was being held. From that day onward, she appeared from time to time, in shiny white garments, a sign of eternal heavenly joy. A fantastically descriptive piece which portrays this tragic legend through the power of music.
