This piece began as an improvisation over the folk tune "Slane", or hymn tune "Be Thou My Vision". I wrote this piece to help myself cope with my grandfather’s passing. He became ill in December of 2022 and slowly recovered enough to get out of the hospital and into assisted living. However, his health began to decline again about a year later and he passed away in February of 2024.
This piece was written over the course of that time. I was a band director at the time, and that tune became a sort of reset button that helped a lot students and myself get through tough times. I finished this arrangement the night before he passed.
My hope for this piece is that it will help others get through their tough times, whether it be the passing of a loved one or any other major life crisis.
