Bring the stories of the Knights Templar to life with this dramatic programmatic work! This animating storyline, filled with powerful fanfares, intense themes, and a breathtaking Gregorian chant-like ballad haunts us with tales of raiders, faith, and conquest that led to the formation of history's most notable order of knights.

The Idea for The Templar Order came from my experiences at my first part-time job at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament and also from watching extensive documentaries on the crusades. The composition itself acts as a program piece, outlining a story based on the origins of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon.

The music includes fanfares, aggressive percussion, rhythmic ostinatos, powerful chorales, and a beautiful lyrical arrangement of the catholic-hymn chant Salve Regina.
