Finding Peace is a tender tenor saxophone rock ballad written in memory of Neil's wife Cathy, who lost a long and courageous battle with cancer in December 2006. It combines the qualities of sadness and hope in a memorable setting for young jazz ensemble. Careful and simple scoring of the background figures produces a bittersweet cushion for the gentle melodic statement. Along with solo chords, the transcribed written solo is provided. Substitute solo part also provided for alto sax. Rhythm parts are fully notated. Written ranges: trumpet G5, trombone F4.
