The Ascent from Darkness, by Rossano Galante, pays homage to the human race that endured the pandemic. He creates a musical landscape that depicts strength, tenacity, and compassion. The main theme, which is broad and lyrical, is stated by horns and winds. As the piece develops, the theme is played by full, chordal brass accompanied by rhythmic woodwind lines. The B section is lightly orchestrated with a solo oboe accompanied by the clarinet section, slowly growing to a tutti statement. The piece recapitulates with bold brass chords. The work ends as it begins, quietly incorporating the first motive. (4:00).

Resolute was composed to celebrate the enduring spirit of those who persevere and overcome difficult challenges with fearless determination. Set in G major, this triumphant theme features a strong, accented melody and energetic accompaniments that frequently utilize double-stops for a resounding effect. The shadows of hardship are heard in a brief shift to E minor before the victorious melody returns with joy that defies darkness with courageous hope. The same way we support each other through trials, many melodies and countermelodies are doubled between sections to portray strength and resolve.Resolute was premiered by the East River High School Orchestra in May of 2022 under the direction of Mr. Scott Friedberg in honor of the orchestra’s 4-year anniversary, and dedicated to the courageous students who continued to make music through the pandemic, demonstrating determination and tenacity in their passionate pursuit of musical excellence.

The butterfly is a powerful metaphor of second chances, rebirth, and metamorphosis. The butterfly, seemingly so delicate and fragile, actually migrates thousands of miles, and is thus a symbol of tenacity and resilience. Composer Ruth Brittin brings us a wonderfully thoughtful and poignant new work for String Orchestra.
