In Memoriam is a lyrical and expressive work by Randall Standridge, written in memory of a fellow band director. Inspired by the choral and orchestral styles of Morton Lauridsen, John Rutter, and Leonard Bernstein, the piece offers a rich emotional journey - moving through moments of quiet sorrow, gentle remembrance, and ultimately, hope. A tender flute solo near the beginning sets the tone, supported by warm wind scoring and thoughtfully crafted percussion lines. Suitable for high school and college ensembles, In Memoriam is the second movement of Aspects, a larger suite commissioned by the American School Band Directors Association, and may be performed independently or as part of the complete work.
