Resplendence: A Loyal Hymn We Raise

RECORDING WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON

GRADE 4.5-5

As a composer, you have certain ensembles and conductors you dream of collaborating with. Personally, one of the ensembles I dreamed of writing a piece for was my alma mater, the Gahanna Lincoln High School Gold Band. With the opening of a new high school in January 2026, I was asked by my former band director to write a piece for the final concert in the auditorium before the move. I performed in this auditorium dozens of times in both band and choir, which hosted performances from its opening in 1981 to the final band concert in December 2025. Resplendence: A Loyal Hymn We Raise is based off of Gahanna’s alma mater, titled “Gaudeamus Igitur” (which is Latin for “so let us rejoice”). With its grandeur and joyous spirit, this piece is a celebration of the Gahanna Bands program, as well as a personal tribute to the band program that started me on my musical career.
