Spiritus Vita stands for “Breath of Life”. The breath of life that is literally blown into instruments to be able to play beautiful wind music. This piece of music is a virtuoso fantasy for fanfare band. Extremely rhythmic, groovy, cheerful, flashy, and dancing, interspersed with long dramatic lines sometimes combined with not the most common harmonies. The spirit and fire of life with all its ups, downs, cheerfulness, sadness, reflection, peace but also madness and despair. All emotions and energy that are expressed in this special, colorful, rhythmic composition.
