Comprised of two main themes Liberty strives to capture the essence of Americana. The first of the two themes is stated by a trumpet duet then later the full ensemble. The second theme is robust and emotionally dynamic and accompanied by a driving rhythmic pulse. The arc of the piece returns to the first theme this time more transparent and ending on a gentle quiet note. A rewarding work for winds with plenty of variety and depth. Dur: 5:15 (G.

Since the beginning of time man has pondered what happens when our physical body dies. Some believe we go to Heaven. Others doubt its existence entirely. Then there are those who have had near death experiences and live to tell their stories. This composition starts delicately as peacefulness returns to the soul. It intensifies as we approach our new consciousness, constantly modulating between the two as we gain knowledge of our new surroundings. (4:45) / Concert Band

Cette lumière, composition lyrique capte la jeunesse et de l'innocence à travers les yeux d'un enfant. Lignes mélodiques ludiques entrecoupées de plus lyriques, sonorités luxuriantes prendront le retour du public à ce simple moment de leur propre enfance. (3,15) / Concert Band
