Through four movements, this symphony demonstrates the composer's writing prowess at its peak. It tells the story of a composer's ghost and their widow. A meditation on death, love, grief, memory, and hope, this symphony for wind band is effective in its entirety or through its individual movements. Movement 4, Ascent, begins softly as the ghost and widow learn to accept what has happened. The pitch rises as the ghost ascends, and the soundscape builds to a thunderous climax. A powerful end to the symphony or as a stand-alone work to add drama to the end of a concert.
