BY WAY OF THE WIND BY ROBIN SPIELBERG:
You can read our album review of By Way Of The Wind HERE.
Robin Spielberg’s “By Way of the Wind” is a fully orchestrated program of original compositions designed to resonate with today’s audiences. Each composition connects to the theme of the human journey through the world, recounting the courage and resilience needed to thrive.
As Spielberg describes it, “By Way of the Wind” is music that reflects how we are carried, pushed, challenged, guided through life by unseen forces. It describes the human experience of moving through the world.” A theme of resilience runs through the 11 pieces, including “Circle of Life,” “Return of a Knight,” the immigration journey inspired “A Song for Jennie,” and the “New Freedom Suite” tribute to members of the armed services and veterans.
