A moving tribute to students who have passed away. Prior to the premiere, the composer was asked in an interview "is this work depressing?" "Absolutely not. It is a tribute honoring students whose lives were cut short; for a variety of reasons. It's depressing to take those feelings and shove them in a closet and never talk about or explore them. Paying open tribute and giving honor instills a sense of hope; a sense that all students have value." Trust me--you will not regret programming this work for your students and community.
Optional string part is available: simply contact the composer for parts.
