Commemoration by Robert wendel

I composed this in 2000 to mark the sudden passing of 2 long-time friends (hence the echoing trumpets.) After 9-11, Erich Kunzel performed it on a 7 concert tour, it was performed in a memorial service for the Challenger astronauts at the Kennedy Space Center, and has been performed on 3 National Memorial Day Concerts on PBS-TV. It has very much become an homage to 9-11, and you should have the CD I sent you a few months back in your library: "American Reflections" it the title. I hope you can include it.
