Sophomores Cory and Toby Flint, composed the 35 minute original score to last week's "King Stag." Opinions editor Betsy Woodruff took us into the orchestra pit to hear their music.

Cory directs "Smeraldina's Theme":



Although the brothers from Omaha, Neb. are both sophomores, Woodruff said that Toby is more than a year younger than Cory. One year Toby decided to do eighth grade in the summer, he said.



Both play cello in the Hillsdale College orchestra and compose music together, including a score for an iPhone application they created last year.


"Gavotte"
