Galante's Transcendent Journey

Rossano Galante
(still alive)

Rossano Galante, pictured in the cheesy picture to the left, has composed many pieces and even orchestrated a few movies two of which are 3:10 to Yuma and Live Free or Die Hard.

Transcendent Journey was a piece composed and premiered relatively recently. Transcendent Journey was commissioned by and dedicated to the Hofstra University Symphonic Band. It premiered on May 3, 2008 under the direction of Dr. Peter Loel Boonshaft. I was fortunate enough to be under the tutelage of a former-student of Dr. Boonshaft at the time and was invited to the concert at which this piece, unbeknownst to me, was premiering. This piece definitely makes up for Kirkpatrick Fanfare.
