On a Sunday afternoon in May of 2011 tornados devastated the city of Joplin Missouri. In Perfect Silence I Often Gaze at the New Stars is intended as a musical tribute to those who lost their lives that day and to thoseheroes who gave everything they could to help others. The music is a beautiful blending of sounds and moods and carries with it a full range of emotions from reflective quiet moments to the massive outpouring from the entireensemble. An evocative and moving work for band that will resonate with both performers and listeners. Dur: 3:50
