Additional info/contents	This concert work was commissioned by the Havre de Grace, Maryland, High School Band. It was written in memory of Jennifer Browning, a flutist in that band who died tragically in an automobile accident. The music strives to portray the joyful and uplifting spirit that Jennifer shared freely with everyone in her short life. The Elegy theme is presented as a bitter-sweet melody played at first by a solitary clarinet. This theme continues to develop and build dramatically through the band, portraying the stark emotions involved in a time of grief. The music eventually softens again, closing quietly with a solo flute ascending to its top register, finally alone. The Celebration begins with a fanfare, abruptly signaling a new mood of joy and excitement. Here is music that conveys a positive spirit, and a challenge to seize the day - living life to its fullest.
