Hymn for the King of the House of Silverbow
Barry E. Kopetz

Hymn for the King of the House of Silverbow is a musical representation of the return of the King to the Land of the Lochrians after being held in captivity for many years in the Land of Aeolia. The first section, View From the Cliffs of Lochria, is the King’s first view of his country in many moons, and depicts all of the emotional grandeur associated with love of one’s native land. Section two, Entry of the King, is music for the entry of the royal personage into the valley he left long before. The final section, the Royal Hymn, is a setting of the hymn tune always played with the appearance of the King. It had not been performed since his disappearance during the first quartile.

Vlaskis and Quark are the two Lochrian lads primarily responsible for deciphering all of the various clues related to the disappearance of the King. At the rising of the two moons over the Lake of Miramoor, they witness the passing of a purple shooting star across the path of the full Assidium moon, as well as the appearance of a mysterious hooded figure upon the shore. In the days ahead, the two friends struggle to untangle the clues that they discover in pursuit of answers to their questions, and strange happenings befall them that ultimately lead to a maze of mysteries that they endeavor to solve. Along with their friends Penny and Illyria, their journey into the strange Land of Aeolia in search of their King proves to be both thrilling, and hazardous!
