To Light, by Jared Barnes, explores a path through the complex emotions of loss and uncertainty to a place of peace and resolution. With transparent moments of calm and wonder building to a soaring, triumphant climax and back, this piece will engage musicians and listeners through its instrumental colors and shifting tonal centers. To Light was commissioned by Holly Prier Lloyd and the Emmetsburg High School Band, in Emmetsburg, Iowa, directed by Mary O'Connell, in memory of alumnus Colton Johnson. (3:45)The
