Evergreen—Viet Cuong. After years

written while the pain was still fresh. While
loss may lead us to initially fixate on what
is gone, remembering what remains –
what has always been there, and what will
continue to be – helps us move forward.

A Journey to the West—Thomas
Groenweghe. Inspired by the many Wild
West soundtracks and feature films, mainly
cartoons and animated films, the composer
tells his own story in music. The piece "A
Journey to the West" tells of the bravery,
courage, but also the innocence of a hero in
spite of himself. After a baroque and majestic
opening imposing on us the atmosphere of
this typical American setting, a rapid gallop
of bass and percussion brings us the theme
of our hero. Lively, light, carefree, it makes
the horns and saxophones roar, then taken
up by the woodwinds and trumpets. If the
melody is light, the atmosphere quickly
becomes heavier, a shadow flies over the
city! Beware!

Lacuna—Henry Dorn. Meaning a blank

historical records. In this piece, it refers to
the gap in knowledge that our educators
help fill in their students.
