In the Wake of the Wind

In the Wake of the Wind is an album by David Arkenstone, released in 1991. It is the first album in a trilogy that includes Quest of the Dream Warrior and Return of the Guardians. The music is based on a fantasy story contained in the booklet that tells of a strange wind called The Lion's Breath and a young man named Andolin who desires to vanquish it. This album contains some of Arkenstone's most evocative, varied, and sweeping compositions and arrangements, with frequent use of orchestral instruments. It reached #1 on the Billboard New Age chart and received a Grammy nomination. The track "Morning Sun on the Sails" is dedicated to Aaron Copland. Its first track, "Papillon (On the Wings of the Butterfly)", played once every twenty minutes in the loop of songs played at Innoventions Plaza at Walt Disney World's Epcot from 1994 until 2021. The Glassmen Drum and Bugle Corps, from Toledo, Ohio performed arrangements of "Overture", "Morning Sun on the Sails", "The Lion's Breath", and "Sailing" as part of their 1993 field show for Drum Corps International, entitled, "A Voyage Through Imagination".
