Reminiscence by Kathryn Salfelder

Windependence Series - Apprentice Novice - Grade 2
Composed for the commission project celebrating the 85th birthday of legendary conductor, Frank Battisti, this beautiful lyric piece from Kathryn Salfelder offers a rewarding emotional depth for young bands. Evoking feelings of nostalgia, yearning, and growth, some of the moments are peaceful, while others are full of angst. The music evolves from a tone row provided by Mr. Battisti himself, and features shifting tonal textures ranging from lush full band passages to lighter soloistic passages.
Recorded by the New England Conservatory Wind Ensemble – Charles Peltz, conductor.

absolutely beautiful piece, played this with a small one-time band a few months ago and its still stuck in my head as a favorite. was clarinet 1 for this piece, it was so fun :] measure 83 was my favorite part, gave me chills and brought me even to a few tears from how gorgeous it was.
