This musical upbeat celebration of life was inspired in part by the John Steinbeck quote in The Winter of Our Discontent, "It's so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone." Beyond the brief introduction with flute solo, the piece is persistently bright and charismatic. This piece can be used at any event, including graduations, concerts, or contests throughout the year.
