Every song tells a story. And every song has a story. Orchestra Mastrangelo, Opus Two is no different.

David V. Mastran is the composer and visionary behind this project, and like all of his original compositions, this collection was formed from personal experience. David composed 53 songs during the last two years of his father's life, committing them to memory because he was not familiar with musical notation. Years after his father's death, David struggled to remember all of them. It was during a visit with friend and collaborator, Graham Hepburn, when he began to recall the forgotten melodies. Throughout their time together, David recalled ten songs, and they are now featured on Opus Two.

In addition to those ten songs, Opus Two also presents "3 1/2 Movements" and "Pastoral Reverie," which complete the disc. Each of these tunes is fully orchestrated by arrangers Paul Carrol Binkley and Tim Powell, who created the lush sound characteristic to this series. Opus Two offers compositions that are more rhythmic and more pop-oriented, still while keeping the arrangements in the same vein as Opus One.
