Composed by Ralph Hultgren. Edited by Bruce Pearson and Wendy Barden. Standard of Excellence in Concert. Resource Guide. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #WB163RG. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.WB163RG).Celebration of Life is an evocative grade 3 composition that uses characteristic melodies to depict aspects of Jewish culture. A special feature of the work is the inclusion of sung passages which express both the painful suffering and joyful hope that have been part of the history of the Jewish people. Originally written for Sydney, Australia's Moriah College High School Concert Band and their Roberta Goot, composer Ralph Hultgren's newly-edited version is a significant addition to the intermediate concert band repertoire.
