"Dallas Skies" - for the shuttle crew

I posted this in Brian's shuttle thread but people wanted me to post it standalone, so here it is.

This afternoon I wrote a lament for the crew of the Columbia and their families. It's on a low D brass Copeland. Sheet music will be available at some point for interested parties.

That's really beautiful...it brought tears to my eyes. I'd love the sheet music, when you have it available.

Wow Beth... Thank you for expressing that which words alone can not say; for sharing with all of us here.

Glad you're here Av. When you get around to it, I'd like a copy as well. At this rate we'll have an Avanutria collection ere long...

I finished converting the sheet music. Forgive me if it's notated incorrectly, I've never written down a piece before. When in doubt, go with the sound file.
