Spirit Song
On the wings of the Spirit came a Heavenly
song...
"Spirit Song" is a powerful work that represents the undying and
everlasting Spirit in all of us. The music opens with the clarinets
presenting the theme representing the uncertainty and troubles that exist
in life. Various instruments enter, adding body to the statement, thus adding
to the complexity of life. However, the main statement soon appears,
representing the Spirit in all of us. That Spirit show us how we can put
aside this complexity, cast aside the troubles, and stand together in unity.
Throughout the rest of the piece, the various statements return, with
the main statement returning several times, eventually slower and louder
towards the end as a culminating statement. This piece was written
for and premiered by the Bethany (WV) College Wind Ensemble, under the direction
of Mr. Jonathan Neiderhiser, at a concert celebrating America in October
2004.
