Old growth forests and essential ecosystems like wetlands were being replaced by housing developments and highways. As a child, I felt helpless about it all; now, as an adult, I know that there is so much we can all do to be part of the solution. Sometimes, we just need to feel empowered first, and I believe art is one of the most effective ways to inspire others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was commissioned by the Midwest Band \u0026amp; Orchestra Clinic in celebration of their 75th anniversary. \u003cem\u003eWilderness \u003c\/em\u003ecelebrates and honours Earth’s remaining wild spaces and the people who fought to protect them. Through this music, I explore the range of emotions I experience as an environmentalist, and I express my gratitude for all that nature has given me. This piece is a call-to-action for all of us to do our part in spreading awareness about climate change, to reflect on our relationship with nature, and to deepen our respect for the stewards of this land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grade 4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eFlute 1-2, oboe, bassoon, clarinet 1-3, bass clarinet, alto saxophone 1-2, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, trumpet 1-3, horn 1-2, trombone 1-2, euphonium, tuba, timpani, chimes, marimba, percussion 1-3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/caitnishimuramusic\" title=\"Cait Nishimura Music\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A1925971787\u0026amp;color=%236c7484\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/caitnishimuramusic\" title=\"Cait Nishimura Music\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCait Nishimura Music\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/caitnishimuramusic\/wilderness\" title=\"WILDERNESS - Cait Nishimura x Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWILDERNESS - Cait Nishimura x Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Concert Band \/ Score and Parts \/ Print","offer_id":52738196865311,"sku":"JAT-161-037-SP","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Concert Band \/ Score and Parts \/ PDF Download","offer_id":52738196898079,"sku":"JAT-161-037-SPe","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Concert Band \/ Score Only \/ Print","offer_id":52738196930847,"sku":"JAT-161-037-FS","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Concert Band \/ Score Only \/ PDF Download","offer_id":52738196963615,"sku":"JAT-161-037-FSe","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1586\/5887\/files\/Wildernesscover2026.jpg?v=1785873259","url":"https:\/\/justatheorypress.com\/products\/wilderness","provider":"Just a Theory Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
