are brought back simultaneously building to a clever
ending. A spooky delight!

"Saving Private Ryan," a gripping, powerful movie

an instrument of the orchestra, adding a special
reverence and poignancy to the simple melody.

l
I-77 (Fanfare for the Appalachians)Joshua
Hummel. This award-winning composition is a
short musical travelogue of Interstate I-77 as
it weaves through the beautiful Appalachian
Mountains. The music motors along at a steady
pace as changing landscapes of sound approach,
come into view, and pass into the distance - then
another musical vista appears on the horizon. The
underlying rhythms, incessant and determined,
prove it's not the destination that's important but
the journey.
