This multi disc set represents three distinct moods, and highlights the Piedmont Wind Symphony performances.

HONOR is a tribute to the late conductor, creator of the modern wind ensemble, educator and recording maverick Frederick Fennell. His last recording was with the PWS in preparation for a concert where he received a Lifetime achievement Award with remarks forwarded by President Bill Clinton on 11/2004. In the end of track 2 you can hear the wonderful voice of maestro Fennell as he asks for different balance on the final chord to the Holst Chaconne.

Also on the disc is the world premiere of Danish Bouquet - A Grainger Collection by Ira Hearshen. This composition is dedicated to the life and work of Frederick Fennell and is based on folk songs collected by his friend Percy Grainger. The work was commissioned by the Music Division of the Library of Congress, Robert Simon and Ludwig Music. This Scotch Strathspey and Reel was a 90th musical birthday gift performed for FF.
