Commissioned by the Immaculata Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ovidiu Marinescu, and the Kennett Symphony Children's Chorus, conducted by Kristen A. Albert. Version for orchestra revised in 2021 for the Fort Dodge Area Symphony, conducted by Joshus Barlage. Arrangement for chamber orchestra commissioned by the Kennett Symphony and Kennett Symphony Children's Chorus, conducted by Mary Woodmansee Green.

A dramatic, fun retelling of the classic children's fairy tale. Originally composed for full symphony orchestra, this popular and catchy suite has been adapted and arranged for youth chorus and chamber orchestra (with guest baritone(s) singing the part of the giant). Fun for young musicians and audiences alike!
