Look no further for an outstanding lyrical selection for young band! When the Wind Whispers has musicality, sophistication and maturity uncommon at this grade level. Beginning softly, it invokes the feeling of a cool spring breeze. The memorable melody is presented in a variety of textures and colors building and subsiding like the whispering wind. As it develops, it builds to a wonderful emotional climax. The intensity then subsides, ending as it began, with the softest touch of morning breeze. Outstanding for concert and festival use.

A very impressive composition for younger bands which is both distinctive and unique! Starts out with a slow and reflective introduction where you can actually hear the sound of the wind whispering before diving into the syncopated rhythms and powerful melodies of the allegro section. Shaffer's compositions like Fire Dance , Tribal Drums and Stargazer have been very popular with bands at this level, and this is very possibly his best ever! Very highly recommended!
