To This Heartbeat There Is No End

In one form or another, Hurricane Katrina affected all our lives. In the fall of 2005, the Mississippi Bandmasters Association commissioned Richard Saucedo to write this work for wind band. In the words of the composer, this is “a tribute to those who lost their lives, to those who saved lives, and to those who continue to persevere in the aftermath...” A wealth of musical effects-from the timpani “heartbeat” to the fury of the storm to the sense of determined optimism-all contribute to make this an unforgettable concert experience. Includes extensive percussion scoring as well as piano and optional harp. Dur: 6:00 (Includes Full Performance CD)
