Deep Inside the Sacred Temple

Deep Inside the Sacred Temple This arrangement of Bizets classic Deep Inside the Sacred Temple was arranged for euphonium duet by Noah Taylor. Award-winning composer Noah D. Taylor (b. 1982) is an exciting and versatile talent noted as having an “extraordinary gift” and a “grand compositional voice with an immense melodic range.” At 16, Taylor had his first symphonic band works premiered. Taylors concert works have become internationally published and performed. His Concerto No. 1 in D Minor for marimba and orchestra was premiered at the Capital University NOW Music Festival by marimbist Brenton Dunnington and the Capital University-Bexley Community Orchestra in 2005.

His piece Condition Red for symphonic band has been widely performed at music conservatories around the nation, with feature performances at the 2004 College Band Directors National Association convention in Cincinnati, Ohio; Kansas State University, Capital University and Ball State University. Most recently, Taylor served as the guest conductor and composer-in- residence for the 2012 University of Wisconsin-Superior Tri-State Band Festival. In 2009 Taylor joined the United States Army as an Army Bandsman and has been stationed at Ft. Sam Houston and Ft. Knox as a trombone player and audio engineer.
