E:
THIS PIECE WAS COMMISSIONED BY THE STERLING HIGH SCHOOL BAND IN RUNNEMEDE, NEW JERSEY IN MEMORY OF ONE OF THEIR MEMBERS, JENNIFER PERSIA, WHO WAS A CLARINETIST AS WELL AS THE CAPTION OF THE COLOR GUARD IN THE MARCHING BAND. THE OUTER SECTIONS SERVE AS AN ELEGY WHILE THE CENTER SECTION, WITH MARCH-LIKE QUALITY, CELEBRATES LIFE. THIS MUSICAL WORK ENCOMPASSES MANY OF THE EMOTIONS THAT REMAIN FROM THIS TRAGEDY, BOTH THE JOY AND ENERGY OF LIFE AND THE SADNESS AND DESPAIR WHICH MANY CONTINUE TO FEEL.
