(Windependence Apprentice Novice). Composed for the commission project celebrating the 85th birthday of legendary conductor Frank Battisti, this beautiful lyric piece from Kathryn Salfelder offers a rewarding emotional depth for young bands. Evoking feelings of nostalgia, yearning and growth, some of the moments are peaceful while others are full of angst. The music evolves from a tone row provided by Mr. Battisti himself and features shifting tonal textures, ranging from lush full band passages to lighter soloistic passages. Recorded by the New England Conservatory Wind Ensemble Charles Peltz, conductor. Dur: 3:45
