Commissioned by Bear River HS music students, the parents of Jude Douden and band director David Ahrens, as a tribute to the life of the young saxophonist. This was his path, but the work is a reflection of the fact that we are all on the journey of life.  Jerry felt honored to have been commissioned to musically pay tribute to Jude Dowden, feeling very parallel to Jerry’s pursuits as a young saxophone student. The resulting work expresses a musical path including performing in the wind ensemble, jazz ensemble and marching band. It is embedded with jazz infusion and features the saxophone as a solo instrument in improvisation and lyrical expression. The ending section of the work uses the themes as a hymn.
