Sam Hazo, composer of In Heaven's Air, offers this new beautiful work based on a poem written by his father, poet laureate of Pennsylvania. After a sensitive introduction, the poem is read under a haunting military cadence in the percussion. The material in the introduction is then developed and presented in a lush and beautiful setting. Chimes, wind chimes, and bells conclude the work which fades to silence. Very compelling.

Don't just read it, hear it, play along with it, and watch your students grow with it. In MakeMusic Cloud, Each Time You Tell Their Story: Concert Band Conductor Score & Parts comes alive with professional accompaniment, adjustable tempo, and built-in practice tools that turn solo practice into real progress.

Why we love this

This piece accomplishes something genuinely difficult: it merges spoken word with instrumental music in a way that feels natural rather than forced. The sensory design is distinctive—the haunting military cadence under the poem creates an emotional anchor, while the textural journey from spare introduction through lush development to soft mallet percussion gives your students something to play with real dramatic intention. At Grade 3, it's sophisticated without being inaccessible.

What to expect

Reflective and elegiac. The piece opens with quiet vulnerability before the poem enters over a steady, solemn percussion foundation. As the material develops, the band creates a warm, almost hymn-like texture that honors the poem's meaning. The final moment, when sound dissolves into silence, leaves an impression of dignity and remembrance.

Who it's for

Concert bands at the upper intermediate level who can handle expressive playing and precise ensemble control. This work suits groups ready to explore patriotic themes with nuance and artistic depth, rather than bombast.

How to get the most out of it

Support the speaker with a consistent, understated military cadence in the percussion section. The rhythm must remain rock-solid so the spoken word remains the focus, not a distraction.
Balance the chimes and wind chimes in the final section carefully. These sounds need to float above the band without being lost; rehearse with dynamics that allow the fade-to-silence ending to land with full emotional weight.
Give the band time to absorb the poem's meaning during rehearsals. Understanding the text will inform how ensemble members shape the musical line during the developmental section.

How to use it

This is ideal for memorial concerts, Veterans Day programs, or any concert where you want to include spoken word thoughtfully. It pairs well with other patriotic or reflective works and gives your audience a moment of genuine introspection rather than loud affirmation. Consider programming it near the end of a first half or as a concert closer.
