Composed by Shaffer. Concert Band. Concert Band Series. Score and set of parts. Composed 2020. Duration 6 minutes, 26 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4897-00. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4897-00).Opening with a lush flute soli, "Into Heaven’s Hands" explodes with power, emotion and jubilation in celebration of a beautiful life. The powerful opening gives way to a lyrical and whimsical faster section. David Shaffer’s mastery of intricate harmonic progression is on full display throughout this work. A slower, lyrical middle section compliments the entire piece with a balance of pure musical emotion. The percussion writing is simple but very effective in producing an exciting and musical experience for both the players and the listeners. An excellent choice for contest or festival!
