Re-do: My Woodwind Quartet Piece, "Reflections On A Life Lived"

Ok, since I did not post very well last time I am re-posting this. I made some changes to the piece and mp3 and am going to post the inspiration for this piece here:

This is a piece adapted from my piano composition. I thought it needed more harmonies and motifs. It is inspired by any beloved person who lived a full life and died, and how others reflect on that life, sometimes with complex grief, sometimes with euphoric joy and hope. I picture the intro and coda as the sadness of the death, and the middle section as the whole of their life, mostly the good parts mixed with the bad memories, and the complexities of the grief people feel. Basically, it is the emotions in the life of a person and the emotions the grievers have when reflecting on the life.
