Publisher Desc.  "And the Joy We Share" is a poignant and uplifting composition commissioned in 2022 by Dr. Christian Zembower for the East Tennessee State University Wind Ensemble. This heartfelt piece was created to honor the memory of Christian's parents, Thomas and Patricia Zembower, who passed away just months apart. To honor Patricia's love for the hymn "In the Garden" by C. Austin Miles, written in 1913, Taylor incorporated melodic motives from this cherished hymn as the foundation of the new composition. The title, "And the Joy We Share," is derived from a line in the hymn's refrain, emphasizing the profound joy experienced in the spiritual connection it describes.
