As Spielberg describes her most ambitious work to date, “By Way of the Wind is music that reflects how we are carried, pushed, challenged, and guided through life by unseen forces.” A theme of resilience runs through the 11 tracks, recorded with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra for the CD, in compositions including “Circle of Life,” “Walk with Me,” the immigration journey inspired “A Song for Jennie,” and the “New Freedom Suite,” a tribute to members of the armed services and veterans. A national tour is planned using local orchestras for 2024.
The music celebrates the resiliency of the human spirit, as well as acknowledges the pain of love and loss. The music is, at times, biographical.
