(8 Brass) An original work, this composition switches between a ballad and medium waltz. This composition features Trombone 2 as a soloist. However, there are plenty of ensemble features, such as saxophone doubles, piano solo and unique colors for the ensemble. While being a ballad, this composition is contrasted with its faster medium swing feel.
