Episode 396: Season 9 Premiere, "In This Broad Earth"

Wind & Rhythm's 9th Season has begun, and what better way to start off than to showcase a few of wind band's premiere composers.
​
Steven Bryant, for example, spends his summers in Austria with his wife and talented conductor Verena Mösenbichler-Bryant (DMA).  While hiking there, he was inspired by the beauty of the Austrian Alps, and thus composed the title track to his new album, as well as capturing this image of our magnificent home.
