Song for Hope

這首敏感而感人的作品是為紀念一位元中學樂隊學生而作，以台下銅管樂器演奏的合唱開場。隨後，一段低音區的流暢旋律逐漸展開，最後引出一段簡短的大合唱式的肯定。在回到台下銅管樂和平靜的結束段落之前，簡短地引用了韓國民歌《你和我》。這是一首配樂優美的樂隊抒情樂曲（台下部分不需要額外的演奏者）：4:30

原文簡介:
Written as a memorial for a middle school band student, this sensitive and moving work opens with a chorale played by off-stage brass. A flowing melody stated in the low register is then developed before leading to a brief fanfare-like affirmation. The Korean folk song “You and I” is briefly quoted before returning to the off-stage brass and calm closing passage. A beautifully scored lyric piece for band. (Extra players are not required for the off-stage parts.) Dur: 4:30
難度: 3
