Rich chordal accompaniments and soaring melodies provide continuity and flow in this dynamic work for band.Dur: 6:15

In celebration of mankind's connection to our planet Michael has created an extraordinary work for band using an intriguing array of composition devices and captivating melodies.Listeners are immersed in a simulated rainstorm the sounds of world drumming overlapping tone clusters and textures and finally a dance of jubilation as the piece comes to a satisfying and rewarding finish.
