After the Silence Bill Thomas

This composition by Bill Thomas was written to give students something to look forward to when they were able to make music together following Covid-19. The piece is meant to musically convey the hectic pace of life before the pandemic (Before the Silence), the abrupt interruption to our routines and the opportunities for introspection that followed (the Silence), and a gradual, thankful, and optimistic return to our normal lives (After the Silence).
