With Every Winter's Breath

In this moving tribute piece, the composer has created a breathtakingly gorgeous band work inspired by the idea that even after death, a person’s memory can inspire, comfort, and influence our daily lives. A poignant original melody and “Go Tell it on a Mountain” are both effectively used to memorialize Maddie Milner, a trumpet player in the Bayfield, CO High School band, who passed on doing what she loved in a skiing accident her freshman year. Your students and audience will surely get emotionally involved with every aspect of this stunning work!
