Empyrean Manifest (Complete)

"Empyrean Manifest" for Wind Band, by David Ahrens. An ever-changing canvas of dazzling beauty, power, and wonder - the sky tells a story that connects us to every other person on earth and to every generation of mankind. I. "Daybreak" is the opening scene, the lifting of the curtain on what will be: The sunrise. II. "Battle Cry" shares the power, excitement, and - at times - chaos of a mighty thunderstorm. III. "Glory" is the culmination of the day and the closing of the sunlight's interaction with our view of the sky. It's often the most beautiful time of the day and - at least in Wyoming - is different and humbling with each iteration. Thank you for listening - I hope that you enjoy Empyrean Manifest! - David.
