Within days of the Columbine High School shooting, University of Colorado band students wanted to help and organized a commission for a new piece of music for the high school band. The piece, “American Elegy,” by composer Frank Ticheli, premiered a year after the shooting. Since then it’s been performed over 10,000 times.
