BEST CLASSICAL COMPENDIUM
“FLYING” Best Arrangement Instrumental or A Cappella (Robin Spielberg/Louis Anthony deLise)
BY WAY OF THE WIND by Robin Spielberg
“By Way of the Wind” is a collection of original symphonic pieces that reveres the enduring strength of the human soul.
Each composition weaves a narrative of our journey through life, depicting the gentle nudges, fierce challenges, and gentle guidance akin to the unseen forces symbolized by the omnipresent “wind.” With 11 thematic tracks, performed by the illustrious Budapest Scoring Orchestra, the album is a tapestry of emotions and experiences.
Anchoring the album is the tribute to my grandmother, “A Song for Jennie,” inspired by her arduous immigration odyssey, and “New Freedom Suite,” a tribute to our valiant armed forces and veterans.
Irrespective of our origins or paths, navigating the complexities of existence demands resilience. This album celebrates that indomitable spirit—the resilience we acquire, practice, and impart to future generations. It’s a testament to the beauty of perseverance and the symphony of life itself.
