Iditarod

The annual Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race between the Alaskan cities of Anchorage and Nome covers 1,049 challenging miles of jagged mountain ranges, dense forests and windswept coastlines. This amazing feat of endurance was the inspiration for “Iditarod”. In cinematic fashion, the point of view cuts from long-shots to close-ups (from the dog’s view to the eagle’s), constantly moving forward with a relentless pulse. With a brief respite, a majestic, sweeping theme is introduced and develops. And then – back to the race! With renewed energy, the dogs race the final stretch; the music building and intensifying to the very end. “Iditarod” was commissioned by the West Vancouver Youth Band to commemorate the band’s 80th anniversary. Take your audience on this exhilarating ride! Dur: 5:35
