In the Stars

Inspired by the question "What would it feel like to go to space for the first time?", In the Stars is one of Benjamin McIntyre's first pieces. Commissioned for the Mountain Creek Middle School Symphonic Band, this simple yet soaring piece is designed for second- and third-year wind musicians. Its soaring melody, rich harmony, and seamless connections create an aspirational, awe-inspiring feel that's perfect for any concert.

A note from the composer: Because this is the first piece I've ever made available to the public for purchase, I've decided to make it free and available with pdf files and mp3 files via Google Drive. The only thing I request is that if you do decide to perform this piece at a concert, please credit this work in your concert program.
