Reaching, for the Stars
Band ~ Grade 4 - 5’
This concert band piece is one wrote on and off during the big quarantine period of 2020. It is based off of a little story I came up with at the time. The basic story:
There is a little girl, who loves the idea of the stars. She has always read about them in books, and watched them in movies. Unfortunately for her, she grew up in the city, so she could never truly experience them. She has a sort of melancholic inspiration about seeing the stars. She is pulled both by inspiration and hopelessness; they both win at one point. After shedding some tears, she goes outside, and magically the stars around start to light illuminate; she can't believe her eyes. She experiences this amazement that she has never felt before, her dreams have been fulfilled. The very end of the piece is her reflecting back on this incredible moment in her later years. A bittersweet memory...
