King Arthur and the Book of Corbenic

Syracuse University Libraries’ Sound Beat: Access Audio recently released the audiobook “King Arthur and the Book of Corbenic” written by Christopher Catroppa ’22 on its website SoundBeat.org. This retelling of the king’s tale portrays Arthur as a young man gazing into his own future toward a quest that will change everything he knows about life and love. The audiobook production was the result of the author’s year-long internship. Catroppa graduated from the InclusiveU Program at the Lawrence B. Taishoff Center for Inclusive Higher Education.

The audiobook was read by Price Waldman and produced by Brett Barry, Christopher Catroppa and Jim O’Connor. The music score was written by John Vallely with creative consultation by Patrick Doyle. Doyle, nominated for two Academy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards, has composed numerous film scores including Henry V, Hamlet and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, to name a few. He was commissioned by Buckingham Palace to compose the Coronation March for Their Majesties, the King and Queen of Consort, to take place on May 6, 2023.

Funding was provided, in part, by the InclusiveU program. The audiobook is available online. Catroppa is planning to write a follow-up book.
