Lifted

Description

A beautiful lyric work written in memory of Stephen L. Gage, former Director of Bands at Youngstown State in Ohio.  A dear friend of the composer, Steve lived a life devoted to his family, teaching, caring, and faith.  Using elements of the hymn tune, “Lift High The Cross”, elements of mourning the loss of a dear friend while celebrating a life well-lived are encapsulated in this moving work.
