tis a Gift

Please take a look at this wonderful piece of music! Composed as a tribute to the three band members from Montoursville, Pennsylvania who lost their lives aboard TWA Flight 800, 'Tis a Gift is a marvelous tour de force based on the familiar Shaker song Simple Gifts. A celebration of the insuppressible and eternal spirit of humanity, this composition is written in three distinct sections, each representing a different characteristic of the human spirit. Lighthearted and joyous, simple yet powerful, this outstanding work is a magnificent display of compositional technique combined with the utmost sense of musical direction. We're completely confident that you'll agree when we say that Anne McGinty has created a work of such quality and emotion that it simply demands to be played by your band! To this eloquent work goes our highest recommendation!
