Characterized with sweeping melodies driving dynamic rhythms interrupted with peaceful serene passages built upon charismatic melodies this musical tribute will not soon be forgotten. Dedicated to Gene Wilder and commissioned by Georgia Band Directors Association, this revered mentor will be remembered for eternity. The catalyst for the predominant part of the material are the notes G, E, and N, combined with the melody from Mr. Wilders favorite hymn. One listen and you'll be hooked. High energy paired with deep emotion is the recipe for this wonderful new work. (6:50)
