Description

Pleae see the actual PDF score itself for Technical & Musical notes about this very different work for "Young" student musicians.

A Wish to the World is a series of pieces written to inspire the next generation of Heroes. These pieces can be played as a suite across the Music Program in the manner of THE FOUNTAINHEAD and STORMQUEST, or they can be rendered individually.

A Wish to the World is commissioned by Barry Wentz and the Alpena High School Symphonic Wind Ensemble with Ray Reynolds, Director of the Thunder Bay JHS Band, and Keith Hodsgon & The South Jersey Area Wind Ensemble, Mr. Larry White & The Rancho Buena Vista Wind Ensemble in California, Mr. Paul Holzen & the Parkway Northeast Middle School, and the Kentucky Music Educators Association.

This piece is from the STORMWORKS Chapter 1 Prime CD.

"Why is it that the precious few beautiful moments that occur at middle school always involve a piece of Stephen Melillo's music? A Song in the Universe is just glorious. Genuinely awe-filled and awe-inspiring. And there's nothing my students love more than to perform a "Massive Fist-Clenching Ritard"! Judy Voois, Fugett MS, West Chester, PA
