My band was the one who commissioned this piece and played it at the New York City Fire Department’s remembrance in April of 2002. It’s an experience I’ll never forget - nor will those of the band and choir members who were there that day.
This piece was written as an elegy for the 9/11 terror attacks. I couldn't help but tear up while playing this in band class. We ended up visiting the 9/11 memorial for our New York band trip that same year. Very poignant of Jay Bocook to write something as beautiful as this piece.

Playing this in my HS band rn.. one of my all time faves (Trombone 2)
I'm playing this for band right now, and I love it. Definitely my favorite song that we're playing for the concert. (Alto Sax 2)
